    The Virginia Department of Health July 17 issued a recreational water advisory for the James River starting at Manchester Bridge and ending at Osborne Landing in Varina, as the result of an ongoing sewage leak occurring near the Pipeline Trail in downtown Richmond.

    The advisory means that people — and pets — should avoid contact with the river in that section or any other area where the water smells bad, has a strange color, or where you see dead or dying fish. If coming into contact with the water is unavoidable, VDH officials recommend washing your skin with soap and water immediately and contacting a doctor if you start to feel sick.
