Stream Advisory Issued for Three Mile Creek, Geary County, Kansas
Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has issued a stream advisory for Three Mile creek, Geary County, to the confluence of Kansas River.
The stream advisory is the result of operational issues at the Camp Funston Wastewater Treatment Facility. The wastewater plant operation has already resolved the issues.
The advisory has been issued because potential elevated levels of E.coli bacteria and other contaminants may be present in the Three Mile Creek. KDHE advises residents to stay away from the creek at this time. If you live or have activities near this stream, do not enter the stream or allow children or pets to enter the stream.
KDHE will rescind the advisory once subsequent testing indicates that primary (swimming) contact has been deemed safe.
