On March 10, 2016 Seattle-King County Public Health issued a no water contact advisory for Cormorant Cove Park beach in King County. The no contact advisory was issued due to a broken side sewer line. It will be repaired on March 11. The public is advised to avoid contact with the water in this area until water sample results show bacteria levels are not harmful.
Contact with fecal contaminated waters can result in gastroenteritis, skin rashes, upper respiratory infections and other illnesses. Children and the elderly may be more vulnerable to waterborne illnesses.
Stay updated about water quality at your beaches by keeping up with us on Facebook, checking beach status on Coastal Atlas, or joining our listserv. Debby Sargeant is the BEACH Program Manager and is available at dsar461@ecy.wa.gov for questions.
