As a result of the weekend’s storms, a power outage occurred at the East Lansing Waste Water Treatment Plant, forcing the plant to make an emergency bypass of sewage and rain water into the Red Cedar River, said Todd Sneathen, director of Public Works.
The plant lost power at approximately 4 p.m. Sunday, when high winds blew a large tree across two high-voltage power lines feeding electricity to the plant. Power was restored by 3:30 p.m. on Monday and is currently working properly.
