Investigation Into Potential Sewage Released in Arcadia Creek Watershed

The Kalamazoo Department of Public Services says it will use tracer dye to investigate potential sewage released into the Arcadia Creek watershed.

From Oct. 16th to Oct. 22nd, the city will look into possible sewage released from sanitary sewer pipes into Arcadia Creek, specifically in the area between Drake Road and Howard Street. The tracer dye used to help identify the release of wastewater, will turn yellow-green if sewage is found.

A no contact advisory has been issued for the area of Arcadia Creek from Jay Drive to Oliver Street.

Despite this, the tracer dye in question is safe and approved for use by the Kalamazoo Office of the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy, according to the Department of Public Services.
