Has the water quality been checked again yet?
I would think after a weekend of easterly winds the amount of
this specific bacteria may be diluted or have been sent west.

I know this is bad and the news makes me believe the local government should be doing something to fix the problem, making a proactive move to stop this from happening .. isn’t hard to determine and or track where the bacteria came from by using current technology to trace the bacteria back to its origin .. whoever found the presence has the ability to find where it came from .. with that said, I’m glad and feel fortunate to live in a area of America and of Florida where the water is sampled and measures are in place to protect us and warn us when there’s a threat to our health .. God bless this state and the USA .. I know what it’s like to live in a state and county where rules are broken to serve a few and testing is ignored .. just look no further than Flint Mi to see how public can be harmed by such ..

If the treatment plant is releasing sewage, why don’t they do it when the tide is going out?

There has been no rain in many weeks to cause high enterococcus levels in the water from storm runoff. Officials seriously need to look into this. Someone has to b dumping untreated sewage into the water. What other explanation makes sense?!

Enterococci are bacteria more persistent than E. coli in saltwater and used as an indicator of coastal water quality. Enterococci are a form of fecal streptococci and, if present, indicate fecal material from warm blooded animals is present in water. This has nothing to do with OIL COMPANIES OR OIL EXPLORATION. Everything to do with operation of waste treatment facilities, lack of restrooms at beach, and storm drainage

I have heard rumors that the P Beach water treatment plant is dumping into the bay at night. Have no idea if that is true or not but someone should be investigating thoroughly the source before it affects tourism and health of locals.

@Molino Mom
The article says “We advise against engaging in water-related activities at these sites until further notice”. I think fishing is a water-related activity.
