Holland Beach in Port Huron is once again open for swimming. The St. Clair County Health Department lifted its July 17 advisory after fresh test results confirmed E. coli levels are now within Michigan’s safe limits. The warning had been issued due to high bacteria levels, often caused by stormwater runoff and strong waves stirring up contaminants. After days of monitoring and additional water samples, health officials confirmed the water is safe, and the beach is cleared for public use. Swimmers are urged to stay aware during heavy rains, which can trigger future advisories.
