HCPH reported in August that raw sewage discharge was affecting the Whitewater River in Connersville, Indiana following recent storms and flooding. That prompted health officials to urge individuals to avoid contact with the downriver Whitewater and Great Miami rivers. As of this week, the wastewater treatment plant in Connersville has been repaired, and the immediate impact from the sewage discharge has passed. For these reasons, HCPH is no longer advising people to avoid recreational activities in these waterways.Any time you’re swimming, boating or playing in or around recreational water, there are a few health considerations to keep in mind.
