Kitsap Public Health District lifted a no-contact advisory for Island Lake County Park swimming beach on June 15 after testing showed E. coli levels had decreased to safe levels.
The advisory was first issued on June 17 due to high E. coli levels, which prompted a temporary closure of the swimming area. A second advisory was issued on June 18 but was later lifted on June 15.
Public health officials urge residents to check for current advisories before swimming or engaging in water activities at local beaches and parks. The advisory system is updated regularly based on water quality testing results.
