By The St. Clair County Health Department
The St. Clair County Health Department (SCCHD) has canceled the water quality swimming advisories for: Holland, Keewahdin, Lighthouse, and Lakeside Beaches. Bacteria levels indicate the beaches are now in acceptable condition for swimming.
The water quality swimming advisories were originally put in place on August 13, 2025 due to elevated E. coli bacteria test results. Additional water samples were collected at the affected beaches and E. coli tests now show results are within the acceptable water quality range as dictated by the State of Michigan. Elevated E. coli levels are possible after a storm or strong winds because bacteria are carried in storm water runoff, including drainage from creeks and ditches, and stirred up from waves.
Advisories for St. Clair County’s public beaches are shared on the SCCHD’s “St. Clair County Beaches” Facebook page and EGLE’s Beachguard website.
