The Ionia County Health Department is recommending no body contact in Jordan Lake, due to high levels of E.coli after a sewage spill from a creek that flows into the lake.
On Oct. 2, the Lakewood Wastewater Authority experienced the sewage overflow; water testing by the LWA that day revealed high levels of E. coli in the creek. Additional testing will be conducted until E. coli levels return to normal the health department said.
