Heads up, Petaluma! A paint spill has occurred in the area around Lynch Creek. Earlier this afternoon, a house painter dumped white latex paint into a storm sewer which then traveled into Lynch Creek south of the bridge at Sonoma Mountain Parkway between Monroe Street and Castle Drive.

We have cleaned our storm sewer system and have reported the spill to the California Office of Emergency Services for further investigation. We are working with our partners at the State that have jurisdiction over the creek to determine the next steps in addressing this spill.

Will provide updates as information becomes available.

You may notice the water in the creek is white. For your safety, please:

• Do not drink the water in the creek
• No swimming in the creek
• No fishing in the creek
• Keep pets out of the water in the creek
