Rainfall in Peoria has led to a combined sewer overflow into the Illinois River within the past day. The City of Peoria advises avoiding full-body contact with the river downstream from Detweiller Marina. Engaging in activities such as swimming, jet skiing, or water skiing could result in illness if water is ingested.
The city is working on projects aimed at reducing these overflows during wet weather conditions. These efforts are part of compliance with the Clean Water Act and the CSO Consent Decree.
