Sewage leak prompts VDH to issue recreational water advisory for James River in Varina, Richmond

Table of Contents

The advisory means that people — and pets — should avoid contact with the river in that section or any other area where the water smells bad, has a strange color, or where you see dead or dying fish. If coming into contact with the water is unavoidable, VDH officials recommend washing your skin with soap and water immediately and contacting a doctor if you start to feel sick.
