No swimming advisories in Franklin County this weekend

There are no swimming advisories in Franklin County this weekend.

In fact, Franklin County has not had a swimming advisory since March the 29th at Carrabelle Beach.

There were also no advisories issued this week for beaches in Wakulla County or Gulf County.

The Florida Department of Health tests 5 Franklin County beaches every week to see if there are bacteria in the water that could indicate a health danger to swimmers.

They also test 6 sites in Gulf County and two in Wakulla.

Besides looking for bacteria in the water, the Health Department is also monitoring Florida beaches for any sign of oil from the Deepwater Horizon oil gusher.

So far no beaches in our area have been affected by the oil.
