Dear William & Mary community –
A failure of a sewer lift station located behind Swem Library has caused wastewater overflow near Lake Matoaka. As a result, William & Mary’s Office of Environmental Health & Safety has closed the lake to recreational activities until further notice while water testing is conducted.
