(KMZA)--The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has issued a stream advisory for the South Fork of the Nemaha River, located north of Seneca.
The advisory was issued Thursday due to water contamination from a confined animal feeding facility, which resulted in a fish kill.
KDHE said the advisory has been issued because elevated bacteria and contaminants may be present.
The health agency says those who live near the stream should not enter it or allow children or pets to enter it.
KDHE will rescind the advisory once testing indicates contact with the water has been deemed safe.
