La Porte County – The La Porte County Health Department has announced a Swim advisory high bacteria notice for Stone Lake Beach and Upper Fish Lake Beach.
They note that the public is advised to avoid swallowing any water from those areas, and to shower immediately after returning from the lake due to the high bacteria levels.
Swim advisories are issued when water samples show bacteria levels exceeding the state water quality standard. These advisories are typically temporary and are lifted once the bacteria levels return to a safe level.
Other areas that fall under this advisory include Stone Lake Launch Area, Pine Lake Assembly, Pine Lake Kiwanis, and Pine Lake Waverly Road, all in La Porte County.
