A Public Health warning issued on May 30 for Battle Ground Lake in Clark County has been lifted. This is due to tests showing that the water quality has improved and no longer has elevated levels of E.coli bacteria. The warning had been issued after routine testing discovered high levels of E.coli in the water, prompting officials to advise against swimming in the lake.
On Monday, tests were conducted and the results returned on Thursday, showing a significant improvement in the water quality. As a result, the closure and warning against swimming or wading in the water, particularly for children who may ingest the water, have been lifted. This update comes as welcome news for those who frequent Battle Ground Lake for recreational activities.
In other news, a woman in Beaverton recently won a $260 million lawsuit against pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson. This case serves as a reminder of the importance of holding companies accountable for any harm caused by their products. As always, it is crucial to stay informed about public health warnings and advisories to ensure the safety of oneself and others.
