One out of two drinking water samples tested positive for E. coli bacteria in the Village of Afton, indicating possible contamination with human or animal waste.
Yesterday we reported that Verona Beach State Park was open with an E.coli warning, but today, Friday, July 24, 2020, it's closed as it still exceeds acceptable levels of the bacteria.
The CDC has issued a food safety alert after eight people became sick with E. coli in a multistate outbreak. Three are hospitalized, and one person developed kidney failure.
