Water quality readings over 100 proportionally increase the
risk of illness. Test results do not reflect current conditions as the quality
of the water can change by any combination of high wave action,
recent rain and strong winds. Huron County Health precautions are found on their web page
Beach Water Quality.
Note: The Lakebed is contaminated and swimmers are at enhanced
risk of illness any time the lakebed is disturbed. This occurs
when at adult waist depth the lakebed cannot be seen. This can be caused
by any combination of high wave action, recent rain and strong
winds. Infection from Lake Huron water could be resistant to some antibiotics due to
their use in agriculture - this is a complex issue which we will not go into
here.
