Just as the E-coli advisories for three beaches in Berrien County were lifted Tuesday, there’s now an E-coli advisory in place for South Haven’s South Beach. The city says samples taken there on Wednesday showed elevated levels of E-coli, meaning the water is not safe for swimming. The Van Buren County Environmental Health Division will collect samples again on Thursday and the results will be available by about noon. In the meantime, South Beach is closed to swimming. City officials note North Beach has been tested and found to have acceptable E-coli levels. It remains open. You can find out more right here.
