At least 8.9 billion gallons of untreated sewage flows yearly
into Lake Erie

into the
lake, ....
The largest single source is an estimated 5.5 billion gallons
from the
Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District, serving Cleveland and
parts of 59
surrounding communities...

Being the shallowest it holds the least amount of all the Great Lakes.This
Cleveland business is fairly disgusting. In metro Detroit they are in the
process of upgrading all of the sanitary systems so that they don't discarge
untreated sewage into the river, then of course into the lake. They are just
about completed with the work on this end, they still have a fair amount of
work to do on Lake St. Clair. And of course, discharge of other industrial
waste is strictly forbidden these days, though they still have to deal with
sediment issues. Fortunately for us, Cleveland is downstream.

I spend summers on Lake Erie when I was a kid ( a kajillion years ago) back
when Pointe Pelee was still just a Provincial Park and not a bird sanctuary
(Jack Miner's was the sanctuary then, out by Leamington)...there wasn't a
lot of water in it then and I do believe Windsor was dumping her sewage into
the Detroit River then....
