Oregon warns against water contact at Cannon Beach due to sewage spill; test results pending.
Oregon health officials warn the public to avoid contact with water at Cannon Beach’s Gower Creek area after an 80,000-gallon sewage spill from the Pacific Pump Station on Monday morning, likely caused by heavy rain and a blockage from toilet paper.
Although cleanup is complete and warning signs are posted, test results are pending, so a formal advisory hasn’t been issued.
Authorities advise avoiding creeks, standing water, discolored water, and runoff due to potential fecal bacteria contamination, which could cause gastrointestinal illness, skin rashes, or respiratory infections.
Safe activities include walking, picnicking, and flying kites.
The alert remains in effect until test results confirm safety.
