- Avoid touching the water and wash hands after being near it, especially children.
- Keep children out of the water and away from scum at the edge.
- Avoid skin contact and do not use the water for watering food plants.
- Watch for glass or sharp objects on the banks.
Dogs
Take care
No mapped places that bring dogs to the water within 150 m.
- Keep dogs from drinking or swimming here.
- Keep dogs out of the water: some algal blooms are toxic to dogs even in small amounts.
- Keep dogs out of the water and rinse them if they go in.
- Watch for sharp litter on the banks.
Fish and wildlife
Take care
The stream itself is their home.
- Sewage lowers oxygen in the water, which fish and insect larvae need.
- Algal growth can strip oxygen from the water at night.
- Chemicals can harm fish, amphibians and the insects birds feed on.
- Litter can entangle or be swallowed by birds and other animals.
How we work this out
Concern combines hazard — warning signs in residents' reports from the last 30 days, weighted by each observer's trust and each report's quality — with exposure: playgrounds, schools, parks, bathing and fishing spots and allotments from OpenStreetMap within 150 m. A sign is possible from 20% of reports and likely from 50% reported by at least 2 different people. All of these thresholds are uncalibrated priors.
This is an early prompt to take care, based on what people can see and smell. It is not a medical or public health assessment and not an official bathing-water classification — follow your local health and environment authorities.
