EPA crews clean up mercury spill inside Northville home; officials say no neighborhood threat

EPA crews are cleaning up a mercury spill inside a Northville home after about four to six ounces of mercury leaked from a grandfather clock’s pendulum. Officials confirmed elevated mercury levels but emphasized there is no threat to the surrounding neighborhood, as the risk is contained within the home. The EPA is working to locate and remove the mercury, test for residual vapors, and ensure safety before concluding the cleanup. No residents have been displaced, and the cleanup will continue until the house is declared safe.
