Residents east of Swift Current will want to avoid using the Swift Current Creek for the short term.

An unknown amount of raw sewage made it into the creek at the Elmwood Golf Club on Saturday morning due to a power supply malfunction at the wastewater system’s main lift station.

The City cited that the issue was resolved yesterday and they're awaiting provincial lab results before releasing anything further on the incident.

They also recommended water users downstream exercise caution and avoid drinking from or swimming in the creek.
