There was a sewage overflow Monday night in the vicinity of 83rd and Forest, raw sewage coming out one if not two manholes. A pump failure at the U Cove lift station coupled with an alarm failure led to two hours or so of overflow, the estimated total amount running thousands of gallons. Not good. It is not known if the lake is contaminated, apparently test samples have been drawn, awaiting results.
Last week on Monday the 18 I posted "Dirty Water, Raw Sewage Fouls Lake of the Ozark" If you didn't read it, take a look. I asked the question, Are we vulnerable? I guess we got the answer one week later.

I have not seen any signs on the sign boards indicating the Lake is closed.
Isn't procedure to close the Lake, test it, and open the Lake when it is safe?
Better to error on the side of safety.......
