Michigan's sewer overflows raise regional concerns

Almost 10 billion gallons of sewer overflows poured into southeast Michigan's waters in the historic August flooding, according to a Detroit Free Press review of data from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. That number includes more than 44 million gallons of raw sewage from sanitary sewers and almost 3 billion gallons from combined sewer and storm water systems, all untreated, raising concerns about deteriorating water quality in the Great Lakes system.
