A sign warning of contaminated water lies on the ground. The sign reads "Warning, contaminated water. Due to Sewage Overflows the water is unsafe for human contact and activity and is a Public Health Risk. Please keep all people and pets out of contact with the water and do not consume any seafood or shellfish collected from this area." The photographer comments, "The sign for contaminated water has fallen, but the warning should still be heeded".
