No swimming advisories for chili cookoff weekend

There are no swimming advisories in Franklin County this week though bacteria were found in water samples taken from two beaches.

The Department of Health said enterococcus bacteria were found in water samples taken Monday from Alligator Point and Carrabelle beach but neither beach received a swimming advisory. The presence of those bacteria, however, indicates either human or animal waste in the water. There was also bacteria found in the waters off Mash’s Island in Wakulla County – though there was no swimming advisory issued for that site either.

There were no bacteria found at any of the four sites tested weekly on St. George Island. Gulf County water quality results have not yet been released for this week.

People who would like to check the water quality results for themselves can find a link to do so on the news page at oysterradio.com.
