Lilly Lake Beach has been closed after a follow-up test for bacteria showed elevated levels, Wheatland town Clerk Sheila Siegler reports.
A test performed Aug. 7 showed 1414 cfu/100mls. Any reading over 1414 cfu/100mls closes the beach until a lower test reading is reached.
Another test will be performed Thursday with results available Friday.
A swimming advisory was placed on the beach Tuesday after a water test result of 261 cfu/100mls from Monday. Tuesday’s test was a follow-up to the Monday result.
This is the third testing related closure of the beach this summer.
