No sewage leak into Little Miami River, health department says

LOVELAND, Ohio (WXIX) - Testing by the Metropolitan Sewer District has determined that no sewage was released into the Little Miami River.

Hamilton County Public Health officials say MSD has identified a “sudsy” discharge into the river and is testing to determine what it is and where it came from.

There has been no environmental impact identified from discharge at this time, Hamilton County Public Health Public Information Officer Mike Samet said.

Earlier, residents were asked to avoid the Little Miami south of downtown Loveland after a sewer line reportedly broke and released sewage into the river.

Samet says the health department wanted to get the message out quickly since an early report indicated a sewage discharge.
