LUDINGTON — The City of Ludington is conducting emergency repairs to the municipal sanitary sewer system at the intersection of East Melendy and South Staffon streets.
John Lenio, utility maintenance superintendent, the repairs are necessary to address an unexpected sewer system issue and maintain the reliability of the city’s wastewater collection system.
During the repairs, residents and motorists may experience temporary road closures, construction noise and equipment activity, and restricted access within the work zone.
Motorists are encouraged to slow down and use caution when traveling near the intersection and remain alert for construction workers and equipment.
Lenio said emergency repairs may require crews to work outside normal business hours to minimize impacts to the sewer system and restore normal operations as quickly as possible.
City crews and contractors are working to complete the repairs safely and efficiently.
An estimated completion date has not been announced.
