Beach Update (posted  Thursday, 7/29/10 at 9 am)

BEACH OPEN –Advisory Warning

Main Beach is OPEN for swimming, but under a Beach Advisory Warning from the McHenry County Department of Health. A Beach Advisory means that the results of the bathing beach water sample exceeded the E.coli advisory limit of 126 colony forming units per 100 milliliter of water. The Beach Advisory is intended to alert bathers to a potentially higher risk for illness associated with swimming particularly for bathers who are very young, very old or immuno-compromised.

West Beach is open for swimming with normal conditions.
