Virginia Department of Health: "Aquia Creek in Stafford County is under a swimming advisory from the crossing of Aquia Drive to Government Island until further notice due to a nearby sewage release."

"A sewer force main break occurred several hundred feet from the waterway near Aquia Drive. The swimming advisory is being released out of an abundance of caution until results from water testing are available. The
duration of the swimming advisory will be adjusted based on these results."

"Repairs to the sewage main have been completed. The absence of rain events since the completion of the repairs may allow the sewage to concentrate in some areas, and it is not possible at this time to know the impact of sewage on the creek. There are no concerns about contamination of the drinking water supply."
