Public Health Alert: Sewage Discharge at Cirque Italia Site in Lansing
On May 29, 2026, a sewage and wastewater spill occurred at the Cirque Italia Water Circus location on W. Saginaw Highway in Lansing, prompting swift action from health authorities to mitigate potential health risks.
The Barry-Eaton District Health Department (BEDHD) identified the spill in the parking area of 5330 W. Saginaw Highway, where the circus was set to debut its public performances. The venue also serves as a temporary campground for the event’s staff and workers.
Working alongside event organizers and property managers, BEDHD is prioritizing public safety by addressing the situation promptly. Ensuring health compliance at temporary campground facilities and wastewater systems is crucial to prevent the spread of diseases and maintain safety for both the public and event personnel.
Given the anticipated influx of visitors for the public event, immediate interventions are crucial to safeguard community health. The Michigan Public Health Code (MCL 333.2451) was invoked by BEDHD, designating the current conditions as a pressing public health threat that necessitates swift action. The event will resume once the site meets all health standards.
Collaboration between BEDHD, Eaton County Administration, Delta Township Administration, and local officials is ongoing to ensure the community’s well-being. BEDHD remains vigilant in monitoring the situation and will provide updates as necessary.
