East Lansing floodings not a sign of dysfunctional sewer system
Despite heavy downfalls plaguing city sewer systems in the past month, East Lansing officials said there is nothing unusual about it. More than 3.6 inches of rain bombarded the city during the aforementioned week, and caused problems for both students and residents alike. East Lansing Director of Public Works Scott House said the sewer system in East Lansing does not seem to hold as much water as it needed to during a period of heavy rainfall or flash floods. "In that type of event you’re exceeding the design capacity for the system, meaning that the pipe can only handle so much," House said. "The rest will sheet flow so that will typically seek low ground where it will pool or find an opening where it will convey through." MSU Infrastructure Administrator Ron Lacasse mentioned detention basins play a major role in lessening the overall effect that a flood has on an area.

ELPD and MSUPD warn students of phone scam
Both the East Lansing Police Department and MSU police are receiving reports of phone scams involving student victims, according to an ELPD statement. The scams involve a caller claiming there is a warrant out for arrest on the person they are calling, saying they must pay fines immediately over the phone or face arrest. Both police departments are saying these are frauds, especially when the caller demands the alleged fine to be paid with a Green Dot or other pre-paid card. ELPD and MSU police stress they do not call to demand the payment of fines by phones. Scams of this nature are long running and The State News reported on them both during last spring semester as well as over the summer.
