Once again Main Beach of Crystal Lake is closed for swimming because recent monitoring conducted by the McHenry County Department of Health determined the levels of bacteria exceeded those established in the Swimming Facility Act.
All swimming activity taking place at the Main Beach is moved to West Beach which is open without the health hazards.
The Crystal Lake Park Board, meeting Thursday evening, wrestled with the constant problem than has plagued the lake this summer. Both the Park District and the Crystal Lake City officials are stumped with the situation and are working together on this mystery. There does not seem to be an apparent source of the contamination and a great deal of investigation is necessary in an attempt to locate it.
The Cardboard Cup Regatta is scheduled Saturday with gates opening at 9:00 am. If the water quality situation does not change, the rain date is July 31.
Information regarding the reopening of Main Beach will be posed on the Park District website or call Main Beach at 815-477-5404 or the Program Weather Information Line at 815-459-PARK (7275).
