This swimming advisory has been canceled!
The St. Clair County Health Department (SCCHD) has issued a swimming advisory for Holland Beach in Port Huron due to elevated E. coli levels. Keewahdin Beach in Fort Gratiot remains closed for the same reason.
Water samples will be collected regularly until E. coli levels meet Michigan’s acceptable water quality standards. E coli, commonly found in the digestive systems of warm-blooded animals, indicates potential fecal contamination. Elevated levels often occur after storms or strong winds, which cause runoff and wave agitation.
For updates on beach advisories, visit the SCCHD’s “St. Clair County Beaches” Facebook page or the Michigan BeachGuard website.
