RSA advised LOWA that approximately ten gallons of sewage entered the lake at 105 Ramsay Rd.
Ramsay Beach is open, the leak is downstream from the beach and the wind is taking any contamination away from the beach.
Members using the lake in the cove bordered by Ramsay Rd. and Manassas Point are advised to avoid water activities that may pose a risk of ingesting water for people and pets until further notice. Members should avoid swimming, windsurfing, and stand-up paddle-boarding as well as any other activities that may pose a risk of ingesting water.
LOWA will collect water samples for lab testing from the area daily and will notify members when test results show E. coli levels below the state threshold.
People and pets should avoid areas where RSA has applied lime to mitigate contamination for at least 24 hours.
