“Sampling conducted during regular water quality monitoring showed that the level of bacteria exceeds the level established by state guidelines,” the health department said in a news release.
The health department is therefore advising people to refrain from water-related activities in those areas due to an increased risk of illness to swimmers.
The advisory will be in effect until the bacteria levels are below the accepted health level.
