Press Conference - 7-23-2021 - Introducing Bill Regarding Sewage Dumping into Lake Erie Western Basin
State Rep. Jon Cross (R-Kenton) announces new legislation that increases penalties and fines for intentionally dumping raw sewage into Lake Erie.
The legislation comes amid reports of municipalities dumping millions of gallons of sewage directly into waterways that flow into Lake Erie. Cross noted other examples include the cities of Sandusky and Port Clinton illegally dumping 80 million gallons of raw sewage, as well as the City of Toledo dumping 100 hours of untreated sewage into the lake waterways.
