GRATTAN TOWNSHIP -- For the second time this month, a mechanical failure has resulted in sewage spilling into a township lake. Marc Middlestadt, who is the licensed operator for Sierra Consultants, said Friday that 49,000 gallons of sewage spilled into Big Crooked Lake. The spill began Jan. 30 and was discovered Thursday. Middlestadt said a float device at a pump station at 10940 Crooked Lake Drive was not operating properly.
