The swim beach at Aurora Reservoir has been temporarily closed after routine tests indicated elevated bacterial levels in the water.
In a news release, Aurora’s Parks, Recreation and Open Space Department noted that. since the reservoir is an untreated natural body of water, it’s not unusual for bacteria levels to fluctuate.
The elevated levels are likely related to the recent heavy rains, the department said. The problem cures itself naturally, but when the levels are elevated, it’s best not to swim. Once the bacteria levels drop, the swim beach will be re-opened.
