Health officials in St. Clair County are warning residents to avoid swimming at Holland Beach after high levels of E. coli were found in the water. The advisory was issued Thursday and will stay in place until bacteria levels drop to a safe range. E. coli can signal contamination from waste and may cause illness. Officials say levels often rise after heavy rain or strong winds. Beachgoers are urged to avoid murky water, not swallow lake water, and wash up thoroughly after any contact.
