HATLEY, WI (WSAU-WAOW) – Mission Lake Beach is now open to the public after county officials shut it down earlier this week.
High E. coli levels had been detected earlier this week during weekly beach monitoring. That caused them to shut down the lake to any recreational activities.
Those officials say additional testing has showed the E. coli levels have returned to acceptable levels, and that the lake is now open.
An investigation couldn’t find the source of the elevated levels, though in a Facebook post, county officials said they ruled out a number of potential sources.
Anyone who used the lake last week and has become ill is being asked to report it to local health officials.
