E. Coli Spike Closes Holland Beach
Holland Beach in St. Clair County was closed to swimmers after routine weekly water tests revealed E. coli levels above the state’s safety limit of 300 per 100 milliliters. Health officials said recent rain likely caused runoff that washed animal waste into the lake, triggering the spike in bacteria. They warned that contact with the contaminated water could have led to stomach problems, skin infections, or more serious health issues. The beach remained off-limits as a precaution and is now open to swimmers.
