A Friday afternoon sewer discharge at Clover Point has prompted Capital Regional District officials to have public-health advisory signs erected in the area.

About 3,000 cubic metres of unscreened sewage was discharged through the Clover Point outfall about 3:45 p.m. due to a failure of mechanical equipment.

The failure was corrected later in the day.

Water samples will be taken over the weekend along adjacent beaches, in conjunction with Island Health.
