Oakland, Macomb counties feud over sewage overflow


Listen Later

Over one million gallons of raw sewage were recently dumped into a Macomb County drain, and officials say Oakland County is responsible.

In early April, Macomb County Public Works Commissioner Candice Miller sent a letter to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE) stating that raw sewage from Oakland County’s Retention Treatment Basin is running into the Red Run Drain at Dequindre Road. 

Pat Batcheller, host of Morning Edition and senior news editor for WDET, has been covering the ongoing feud between the two counties. He joined The Metro on Thursday to share the latest.
