Fecal Matters: Combined sewer overflow impacts Port Washington narrows and Sinclair Inlet, Kitsap County

BEACH Program Update

On June 26, 2013, combined sewer overflows (CSOs) discharged into Port Washington Narrows and Sinclair Inlet in Bremerton, WA.  CSOs are a diluted mixture of untreated sewage and storm water.  As a result, the Kitsap Public Health District issued a no contact advisory through July 2, 2013.  The public is advised to avoid contact with the water and not harvest shellfish.
