TOPEKA - The stream advisory issued for the Smoky Hill River, downstream of Salina, has been rescinded.

Water samples show no health risk associated with the river. Water contact in the river is now deemed safe.

The stream advisory was the result of a power loss at the City of Salina wastewater treatment plant on Saturday. Wastewater was not fully treated during the power failure and entered the river.
