With the exception of TC State Park, Sunset Park and Senior Center Beach, all beach sampling from Wednesday, July 7 have reported satisfactory water quality. TC State Park, Sunset Park and Senior Center Beach are all being reported at a Level 2 – partial body contact advisory.

This means that E. coli levels meet MDEQ standards for wading, fishing, and boating. However, contact above the waist is not advised.

All other beaches are at Level 1 – full body contact.

The GTCHD said that appropriate officials are aware of the situation and follow-up sampling is being conducted Thursday. Sampling results are expected Friday, July 9.
