Officials Blame Middletown Sewer For Pollution
Ohio wildlife officials trace an oily brownish black substance to a Middletown sewer as the source of river pollution. A game warden's river tour found the contamination at the 14th Avenue outlet and along the east bank south of the outlet while fish appeared undisturbed. Officials noted the black matter could be moving downstream with high water, and investigations continued to identify the exact outlet.
