With just a sliver of the summer remaining, city officials have been forced to issue a no swimming order for Lake Quinsigamond after sewage was found overflowing into the lake.

The order will remain in place until further notice, City Hall spokesman John Hill said. Recreational actives, such as boating, are also prohibited.

Sewage got into the Lake Quinsigamond Tuesday morning following an issue with a sewage pumping station.

Hill said sewage poured into the lake for about 75 minutes.

Swimmers could get sick if they swallow the contaminated water.

Hill said the city is continuing to monitor the situation and will test water samples to ensure the water is safe for swimming.
