‘Poor' water quality detected at 2 local beaches due to predicted E. coli levels
CLEVELAND (WJW) — Poor water quality has been detected at two Northeast Ohio beaches Saturday, the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District said, meaning it's best to stay out of the water.
Not that it's great swimming weather this weekend anyways, but just beware.
The affected beaches include Edgewater Beach and Villa Angela Beach.

The predicted E. coli concentration for Edgewater Beach is 139 MPN/100mL. The threshold is 80 MPN/100mL .
The predicted E. coli concentration for Villa Angela Beach is 301 MPN/100mL. The threshold is 135 MPN/100mL
'Poor water quality predictions due to potentially harmful algae indicate that cyanobacterial species capable of producing toxins were found to be present at the time of sample collection. Beach postings will be updated by Cleveland Metroparks based on toxin concentration results,' the NEORSD said.

Additionally, the National Weather Service warned residents about dangerous swimming conditions Saturday along the lakefront from Erie County, Ohio to Erie County Pennsylvania.
NWS Cleveland posted on X Saturday morning about the threat of dangerous swimming conditions due to a high risk of rip currents along with the potential for dangerous wave heights.
