Drinking water is not affected by this advisory.

According to DOH-Okaloosa, waters contaminated with wastewater present several health hazards to humans and may contain untreated human sewage with microbes that could cause gastrointestinal and other diseases.

Anyone who comes into contact with the affected waterway should wash thoroughly, especially before eating or drinking. Children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable to disease, so every precaution should be taken if in contact with the affected waters.
