The overflow, which entered a nearby creek, was caused by a temporary pumping system failure and increased rainfall, a spokesperson for MCES said.
Crews worked to stop the overflow, and the Ohio EPA was notified.
There is no threat to public health, drinking water supplies, or nearby residents, but out of an abundance of caution, the public is asked to avoid the area.
MCES and the Ohio EPA are continuing to monitor the pumping system.
