We had some sewer overflows that were going to affect Linden Creek, which goes directly into Lake Superior. So we just closed the whole beachfront down. Further water sampling will take place.”The village will work with the Western Upper Peninsula Health Department and EGLE to monitor conditions before reopening the public space.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0ePx7D_1Ch4PYUx00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0ePx7D_1Ch4PYUx00" width="480" height="640" ></figure>Village Manager Bob LaFave said waters began receding Wednesday night, though cleanup efforts and damage assessments continue.
