The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has issued a stream advisory for an unnamed tributary near Neodesha.

 

The unnamed body of water runs west of Water Plant Road to its confluence with Fall River. The advisory was issued after crude oil was observed in the water from an undetermined source. KDHE is working to contain the contamination and to locate its source.

 

Due to the possibility of contaminants in the water, those who live in the area or who have activities nearby are advised not to enter the water or to allow children or pets to enter the stream until further notice.
