OLCOTT, N.Y. — The Niagara County Department of Health says it's now OK to swim at Olcott Beach again.
The county on Thursday had said the beach was closed for swimming until further notice, citing that recent water samples detected high bacteria levels, making the water unsuitable for swimming.
The levels have improved since then, with the county adding, "The Niagara County Department of Health will continue to monitor water quality closely and will immediately notify the public of any problems associated with water quality."
The county will post more updates on water quality online.
If you have any questions, about bathing beach water quality, you can call Public Health Engineer David Drust at (716) 439-7451.
