Lakeville's Valley Lake Beach Closed Due to E. Coli
For second year in a row, Valley Lake Beach is closed due to high levels of bacteria.
For the second straight summer, the beach at Lakeville's has been temporarily cloased thanks to high bacteria levels.
According to the city of Lakeville, water samples have shown high levels of E. coli. According to the city's website, the high levels of bacteria are likely the result of duck and goose droppings.
E. coli levels are monitored weekly at the three Lakeville swimming beaches from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend. To help lower E. coli bacteria levels, do not feed the geese or ducks, keep pets off the beach, and have young children wear swim diapers.
