Rainfall in Peoria has led to a combined sewer overflow into the Illinois River. The City of Peoria advises avoiding full-body contact with the river downstream from Detweiller Marina. Activities such as swimming, jet skiing, or water skiing in these areas may pose health risks if water is swallowed.
The city is working on projects to minimize these overflows during wet weather, complying with the Clean Water Act and the CSO Consent Decree.
