CLEVELAND (WJW) — Water quality is expected to be poor at a Northeast Ohio beach Saturday due to unsafe levels of E. coli bacteria.
The latest water quality report from the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District shows high levels of the toxic bacteria at Villa Angela Beach.
“E.coli bacterial levels are estimated to exceed the water quality standard and be unacceptable for swimming,” the U.S. Geological Survey website states.
E. coli is an infectious bacteria that can cause bloody or watery diarrhea, severe stomach cramps, vomiting or a low fever, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Villa Angela Beach and Edgewater Beach both showed high levels of the toxic bacteria Friday, however Saturday samplings from Edgewater showed safe levels.
