No body contact advisory issued for Lake Cadillac due to E. coli
CADILLAC — On Wednesday, July 24, District Health Department #10 (DHD#10) was notified that two samples collected from Kenwood Park on Lake Cadillac showed elevated E. coli levels. Residents and visitors should be advised of unusually high levels of E. coli bacteria in the Kenwood Park area. When swimming or conducting other water activities during periods of high bacterial levels, the risk of becoming ill from contamination increases. Children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems are the most at risk. Flu-like symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal cramping, fever, and dehydration can occur from exposure to contaminated water. Upper respiratory illnesses, such as ear, nose, and throat infections, may also occur, in addition to skin infections if an open wound is not properly protected. Wexford County is continuing to collect samples and results will be reported by DHD#10 when available. DHD#10 urges residents and visitors to avoid water contact at Kenwood Park until the samples indicate the E. coli levels have been reduced.
