Swimming now allowed at Olcott Beach

They say "water quality is once again suitable for recreational swimming."

OLCOTT, N.Y. — The Niagara County Department of Health has rescinded a public health advisory for Olcott Beach.

The health department had issued a health advisory earlier this week after testing conducted on Monday, July 3 found the Lake Ontario water was "not suitable for swimming because of unsatisfactory bacteriological water quality."

They say "water quality is once again suitable for recreational swimming."

The Niagara County Department of Health says they will continue to monitor the water quality- and will reopen the beach for swimming when conditions return to a safe level.
