The city has rescinded a three-week long swimming advisory for Rotary Beach.
It was put in place on Aug. 27 when bacterial counts measured higher than acceptable E.coli counts. Beach water quality can fluctuate due to a number of factors including lake currents, plant debris, changing environmental factors, and waterfowl and other animal waste.
A City of Â鶹AV media release states beachgoers can help enhance water quality:
- Do not feed the birds, ducks or geese;
- Do not take your pet to the beach and swim in the water. Dogs are only permitted at designated dog beaches;
- Do not litter. Dispose of all waste in garbage cans;
- Change diapered children in bathroom facilities, not on the beach;
- Dispose of boat sewage in onshore sanitary facilities;
- Wash your hands with soap and water after using the toilet or after changing diapers;
- If you have diarrhea, please do not swim.
