The Huron County Health Department has actually resumed the Bird Creek Village Park Beach after screening previously in the week revealed raised levels of E. coli nests in the samples gathered.
The weekly screening that the health department does searches for 300 nests of E. coli per 100 ml of water with the screening previously in the week revealing 727.00 nests. After re-testing, the nests dropped to 9.8 nests.
Tip MacGuire, Huron County Health Department health officer and ecological health director said that a mix of the rain overflow, northern winds, and animal usage of the beach might have triggered the variety of nests to increase.
There are presently no other beaches closed in Huron County since the conclusion of screening today. Testing will resume on June 20-21.
