Published 4:39 pm Tuesday, October 1, 2024

The city said the Necanicum River and Neawanna Creek have returned to normal following an electrical fire that caused about 314,000 gallons of partially-treated wastewater to be discharged in September.

The city, in collaboration with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, issued an all-clear notice on Sept. 27. The city has previously disclosed that some of the discharge exceeded the regulatory limit for E. coli.
