MUSKEGON, Mich. (WOOD) — Beachgoers are being warned that E. coli levels in the water at Pere Marquette Park are slightly higher than normal safe levels.
According to the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, recent testing found about 314 E. coli per 100 milliliters in the water, a little above the standard limit of 300. A contamination advisory went into effect Thursday, but the beach wasn’t closed.
