Environment Protection Authority (EPA) Victoria are continuing investigations into a unknown substance spill at Stony Creek in Yarraville last week, which gave the creek a red-orange colour.

Despite the water quality improving at the creek over the weekend, residents are advised to avoid contact with the creek downstream of St Leonards Avenue.

Yarraville residents are advised to avoid contact with the water, not to drink the water, to keep pets away from the water and not let pets drink the water, not to use the water for any domestic or recreational use and not to consume any animal caught in the water.

EPA is currently conducting investigations and will monitor for potential contaminants.
