According to an alert from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation overflow of untreated sewage from a manhole to Marsh Creek began happening around 6 am due to an equipment failure at the Marsh Creek lift station.

An estimated 5,000 gallons of untreated sewage had been released from 45 Doran Ave. in Geneva for a period of several hours.
Emergency crews were on-scene to deal with the failure.
