GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Cleanup efforts are underway in Green Bay after crews stopped six sanitary sewer leaks associated with a downtown project.
While the quantity of the wastewater release is still being determined, some of the sanitary sewer overflow reached the East River.
The public is asked to avoid the following areas where crews are working:
- Near Main Street and Monroe Street
- N. Irwin Ave. and St. Clair St.
- Near the north side of Whitney Park
- Pine St. and N. Roosevelt St.
- Near Baird St. and the East River Trail
- Pine St. between Webster Ave. and N. Clay St.
The city of Green Bay, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, and Brown County Public Health have all been notified. Sanitary sewer service remains uninterrupted.
Officials say on Thursday night, crews identified and stopped six sanitary sewer leaks associated with the Downtown Interceptor Renewal Project. Cleanup efforts on Thursday night were hampered by the frozen conditions, so the team shifted to securing the sites with caution tape to prevent public access. Crews are onsite Friday to work under better conditions.
