Residents
should visit the MCDH webpage (www.mcdh.info)
for the latest information.
To prevent
illness associated with swimming, all licensed beaches on the 12 lakes in
McHenry County are tested every 2 weeks for E. coli throughout the summer to
determine water quality. Additional and more frequent sampling is done
when elevated bacterial levels are found.
Water
sampling results are reported to the appropriate beach authorities. MCDH will
post an advisory or closed signage for beaches with elevated E. coli
results. All beach water results and locations are readily available at
the MCDH webpage www.mcdh.info
or call 815-334-4585
