Pfizer chemical spill of 1,057 gallons of methylene chloride into the Kalamazoo River's sewage system led to a no-contact advisory along a 4.8 mile stretch of the river, as a precautionary measure. Pfizer notified the city on March 12, and the chemical, a potential occupational carcinogen, was directed to the Kalamazoo Water Reclamation Plant for treatment. The advisory will be in effect until further testing indicates no risk to public health.
