Clark County Public Health has lifted an advisory warning people to avoid contact with water in a mile-long stretch of Lacamas Creek.

Last month, Public Health issued the advisory for Lacamas Lake, Dwyer Creek and the stretch of Lacamas Creek after a sewage spill in the 4700 block of Northwest Pacific Rim Boulevard.

Water testing by the city of Camas found that the water in Lacamas Creek no longer poses a threat to the health of people and animals. Earlier this week, Public Health lifted the advisory for the lake and Dwyer Creek.
