Dog owners are being cautioned to keep pets from drinking or entering the creek near the Holmes Lake dog run after a wastewater spill may have contaminated the water, according to a news release from the City Public Works and Utilities department.
On Tuesday morning, crews removed a piece of construction debris that was blocking a sanitary sewer line. This caused about 3,000 gallons of wastewater to spill from a manhole near 84th Street and Pioneers Boulevard, the release said.
The spill was cleaned up by 4 p.m. Tuesday, but a small amount of wastewater reached Antelope Creek, said John Chess, environmental health supervisor.
Signs are posted around the dog park warning people to keep pets away from the water.Â
