CLEVELAND — The Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District has issued a public advisory for Edgewater Park after sewage overflowed into the lake from Monday night's storms.

This is the first time in exactly a year that an overflow event has occurred.

The discharge is a combination of sewage and stormwater that exceeded the capacity of the 25-year system.

Beachgoers are asked to avoid contact with the water and woody debris.
