Stream Advisory Issued for Paradise Creek East of Natoma

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has issued a stream advisory for the Paradise Creek along the area east of Natoma located near the wastewater treatment facility.

The stream advisory is a result of lift station overflow due to heavy rainfall.

The city of Natoma is working to repair the problem.

The advisory has been issued because potential elevated bacteria and contaminants may be present in Paradise Creek as it flows east of Natoma.

If you live or have activities near this stream, do not enter the stream or allow children or pets to enter the stream.

KDHE will rescind the advisory once flows recede and subsequent bacteria testing indicates secondary (wading) contact has been deemed safe.

For further information, please contact at the city of Natoma, Roy Hockett, at 785-885-4833.
