Hooker Lake boat launch, Lake George 101st and Paddock Hooker Lakes Association under swim cautions after sampling by Kenosha County showed elevated E.coli levels at those locations.
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.
The results from Monday that prompted the cautions are:
- Hooker Lake boat launch — 411 E.coli/100 mL
- Lake George 101st — 727 E.coli/100 mL
