MDEQ Issues Water Contact Advisory for Unnamed Stream Near Taylorsville

4/17/2019

0 Comments

 
The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) issued a water contact advisory Wednesday for several streams near Taylorsville. The advisory is issued for an unnamed tributary of Lyon Creek where it crosses Pine Street to the confluence of Lyon Creek with the Leaf River. The advisory is being issued due to an ongoing bypass from a sewer line, and the city is currently working to repair the line.

MDEQ recommends that people avoid water contact such as swimming, wading, and fishing. People should also avoid eating fish or anything else taken from these waters until further notice. MDEQ staff will collect samples and monitor the water quality in the area and will revise the advisory as needed.

We want to stress that this advisory DOES NOT impact our drinking water supply, and boiling your water is NOT neccessary. This advisory is simply for the unnamed streams.

The town is actively working to repair the bypassed sewer line, and we anticipate repairs should be completed within the next week or so.
