PORT ANGELES — Authorities are advising people to stay out of Port Angeles Harbor for the next week after heavy rainfall sent 7 million gallons of diluted sewage into the water.
The Peninsula Daily News reports an environmental advisory is in effect until next Monday.
A city engineer says the overflow contained heavily diluted raw sewage but was mostly rainwater.
The city is under a 2006 order with the Department of Ecology to reduce the number of overflows from city sewers into the harbor during major rainstorms.
The $15 million Phase 2 portion of the project began in late February and is scheduled to be completed late next year.
