Gulf Beach swimming advisory
The Citrus County Health Department On Thursday lifted its advisory against
swimming at Fort Island Gulf Beach Park, and the county parks division has taken down
signs prohibiting swimming at the beach.
Water samples taken last week showed acceptable levels of enterococci and fecal
bacteria, the organisms used by the state to determine the potential danger due to bacteria in
the water.
The beach is tested weekly, and while it was reopened based on samples taken ear-
lier in the week, health officials remind the public that it is not uncommon for lakes, rivers,
and coastal areas to become contaminated with germs from animal waste and from sewage
in water runoff following rains.
