Crystal Lake is now closed for the season two days earlier than planned after the final test of the swim season came back with elevated E. coli levels. No one – people or pets – should have contact with the water.

The last day of the official season with lifeguards at the beach was scheduled to be this Sunday, Aug. 16.

Recreational activity in water with high E. coli levels can cause gastrointestinal and other symptoms including sore throats and runny noses, earaches, and itchiness. For any health-related symptoms or concerns, please contact your primary health care provider.

More information is available from the State Department of Public Health at mass.gov/beach-water-quality.
