Anglers warned not to fish in areas of Ohio’s Maumee River after sewage overflows leak into Lake Erie watershed

A pair of public health agencies more than 100 miles apart had to issue public health warnings after polluted water entered the Lake Erie watershed in June.
On June 6, the Toledo/Lucas County Health Department issued a public health advisory for Swan Creek and its tributaries from Eastgate to the Maumee River due to elevated levels of E. coli. The known source is untreated human sewage coming from a leaking sewer line that caused a large sinkhole to form and crush the large pipe when it expanded and collapsed.
