Over 48 hours after a tanker truck crashed into a tributary of the Elwha River, the fallout remained unclear for salmon, wildlife and Port Angeles.

The advisory was the response to a Friday fuel tanker crash at Indian Creek Basin. The creek feeds into Elwha River, the city’s main potable water source.

The alert from the Sheriff’s Office instructed Port Angeles utility customers to not drink tap water. It said to use only bottled water for drinking, brushing teeth, washing dishes, making ice and food preparation until further notice. That also applies to pets, the alert said.
