Vancouver, WA ‒ Clark County Public Health has lifted an advisory warning people and their pets to avoid contact with water in Lacamas Lake and Dwyer Creek. Sampling by the city of Camas indicates the water no longer poses a threat to the health of people and animals.

 

But health officials have left in place a no-contact advisory for about a mile-long stretch of Lacamas Creek between Dwyer Creek and Lacamas Lake. Sampling there still shows high levels of bacteria.

 

Camas will continue to monitor water conditions in Lacamas Creek. Public Health will issue an update when the creek no longer poses a health threat to people and pets.

 

On Feb. 26, Public Health issued an advisory to avoid water contact in and around Lacamas Lake following a sewage spill in the 4700 block of Northwest Pacific Rim Boulevard.
