The Paddock Hooker Lake Association beach on Paddock Lake will remain closed through the weekend after follow-up testing Wednesday again showed elevated E.coli levels.
The latest reading at the PHLA beach was 2,419 E.coli/100 mL. A reading of over 1,000 E.coli/100 mL triggers a closure for swimming at the tested beach.
The closure will remain in effect until re-testing shows a satisfactory result. The county says they will resample Monday or Tuesday of next week.
The other beaches on Paddock Lake tested below caution and closure levels this week.
