Paddock Hooker Lakes Association beach on Paddock Lake is closed to swimming after a test Tuesday showed elevated E.coli levels there.
The State Department of Health recommends posting warnings at beaches when test results indicate an E.coli level of 235/100mL or more and closing a beach when test results exceed E.coli 1000/100mL.
