A major sewage spill in Pueblo, Colorado, is heading toward John Martin Reservoir and could reach it by Monday, August 31st—bringing a dangerous wave of untreated wastewater. Colorado Parks and Wildlife has issued a strict “no contact” advisory for the reservoir and river: no swimming, wading, fishing, or tubing—and keep pets away. Warning signs will be posted, and health officials are monitoring water quality with ongoing tests. While Lake Hasty remains unaffected, its existing blue-green algae restrictions still apply.
