ANN ARBOR, MI – Huron River trips between the city’s Argo and Gallup canoe/kayak liveries are closed for the day following a sewage spill, Ann Arbor officials reported Friday afternoon, July 5.

“There was a sanitary sewer main break, which has caused some sanitary sewage to enter a storm pipe,” said Assistant City Administrator John Fournier.

“We are anticipating some sewage to find its way into the river and closed the canoe liveries as a precaution.”

Argo Pond is still open for pond paddles, according to the city.

The city will be issuing a press release with more details as they are available, Fournier said.

The sewer main break occurred downtown on Liberty Street between First and Ashley and is now repaired, Molly Maciejewski, Ann Arbor’s public works manager, said shortly before 5 p.m. Friday.
