    D'Lo Water Park by Karen Felder

    RED ADVISORY Test results indicate the level of e coli found in the Strong River (at D'Lo Water Park ) exceeded the levels required for safe recreational swimming, i.e., Beach Action Value (BAV). Some possible sources of fecal contamination include; agricultural runoff, wildlife that use the water as their natural habitat, runoff from areas contaminated with pet manure, wastewater treatment plants, and on-site septic systems. Heavy precipitation may cause these organisms to be washed into creeks, rivers, streams, lakes, or ground water. Consumption of or contact with water contaminated with feces of warm-blooded animals can cause a variety of illnesses.
