Advisory lifted
PORT LUDLOW — The Jefferson County Public Health Department has lifted a “no contact” health advisory for Port Ludlow Bay and a stream flowing through the Port Ludlow Golf Course and into Port Ludlow Bay.
Lab tests from water samples collected Monday and Wednesday showed E. coli bacteria levels have returned to normal after a sewage spill on Sunday, Nov. 23, said Michael Dawson, water quality lead for the environmental health division.
An estimated 1,000 gallons overflowed from a blocked pipe at Muir Court and Highland Drive, and an unknown amount entered a roadside ditch and flowed to an unnamed stream that runs into Port Ludlow Bay, Dawson said.
Olympic Water and Sewer reported the spill and corrected the problem on Nov. 23, Dawson said, but elevated levels of E. coli were found in the stream.

PORT ANGELES — Unity in the Olympics, 2917 E. Myrtle St., will hold a 10:30 a.m. service Sunday with guest speaker the Rev. Charles Mawson.
