People are being discouraged from coming in contact with the Willamette River around Waverly Country Club after about 1,000 gallons of sewage overflowed from a manhole in Southwest Portland on Sunday.
The cause of the overflow has yet to be reported.
Maintenance crews estimate that about 1,000 gallons of sewage flowed into the river from a stormwater outfall pipe, according to a bureau press release. The outfall is on the river’s west bank about three-fourths of a mile south of the Sellwood Bridge.

The advisory to avoid the river will be in effect through Monday afternoon.
