L'Anse waterfront closed amid excessive rainfall, sewer overflow
L’ANSE, Mich. (WBUP/WJMN) — Heavy rainfall on Wednesday, June 24, forced L’Anse to close its waterfront and beach after sewer overflows threatened water quality along Lake Superior. The L’Anse sewage treatment plant recorded 2.5 inches of rain at the facility, with an additional three-quarters of an inch measured uphill from the plant — totaling 3.25 inches of rainfall in four hours. A spokesperson for the Village of L’Anse said the overflows prompted immediate action.“We did close the beach down,” they said. “I contacted the health department and EGLE, the state of Michigan. 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. Village Manager Bob LaFave said waters began receding Wednesday night, though cleanup efforts and damage assessments continue. Infrastructure along East Falls River Drive, at Secret Creek, held up, but railroad tracks in the area may have sustained damage. Officials are still determining whether planned village activities Wednesday evening can proceed. Residents should watch for updates
