The Santa Barbara County Environmental Health Services is reminding people to stay away fromstorm water.
That water is untreated rain water that flows through the drainage system, into creeks and into the ocean and can increase someone’s risk for certain illnesses if they come in contact with it.
They advise people to stay away from the water for three days after the rain event.
