Waters near Whidbey Island to be dyed red
Red dye may be seen in the waters around Oak Harbor for about 24 hours on Monday.
Washington State Department of Health scientists will be working in the waters around Whidbey Island from Sept. 9 to 14 to evaluate the movement of wastewater near the newly rebuilt Oak Harbor Clean Water Facility and to study the potential impacts to nearby shellfish growing areas.
Scientists from the DOH and Food and Drug Administration will add the dye to treated wastewater from the facility and track the water’s movement.
The dye will be added to the water on the morning of Monday, Sept. 12.
