Ottawa County beaches show rare E coli spikes this summer
Ottawa County testing found only one E coli spike since June with 501 per 100 ml at Windsnest Park Port Sheldon on June 28. By July 12 levels fell to zero, while Grand Haven City Beach stayed low at 23.13 to 31 per 100 ml in June and July and state park readings varied. Ottawa County shifted away from no swim advisories in 2012 and now issues no body contact warnings only for sewer overflows, seeking faster testing methods with partners and posting results online.
