Horicon beach was ordered closed by City Health Officer John Carston to curb infections linked to decaying weeds and dead fish in Rock River and Horicon marsh. The area’s water level dropped about a foot since July 11 due to dam gate actions, thinning sloughs and trapping hundreds of pickerel. Samples will be sent to Madison for analysis as officials monitor conditions.
