LYONS, Kan. — The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has issued a stream advisory for Little Cow Creek to Cow Creek south of Lyons, as a result of operational problems at the city of Lyons’ wastewater treatment plant.

City Administrator Troy Houtman told Ad Astra News the plant south of Lyons was offline for time Tuesday, but temporary repairs have been completed to bring it into compliance with discharge requirements.

Issues regarding the plant will be on the agenda for the next City Council meeting Monday. The advisory was issued by KDHE due to potential elevated levels of bacteria and contaminants. Those living or having activities near Little Cow Creek should not enter the stream or allow children or pets to do so.
