The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has issued a stream advisory for Polecat Creek and the confluence of Clear Creek located south of Garden Plain.
The advisory was issued because of planned operational repairs at the City of Garden Plain’s wastewater plant, which may result in partially treated wastewater discharging to Polecat Creek.
The advisory was issued because potential elevated bacteria and contaminants may be present in the creek. People who live in the area or have activities near the creek are urged not to enter the creek or allow children or pets to enter.
The advisory will be lifted when the repairs are completed.
