GOGEBIC COUNTY - With the official start of Summer happening this weekend, the Western Upper Peninsula Health Department has announced it will continue to monitor the waters of a network of local beaches in Gogebic and Ontonagon Counties. For the two decades, the WUPHD has worked with the Keweenaw Bay Indian community to sample water. The results of those samples will be posted on Michigan’s BeachGuard website, along with advisories, alerts and closings for beaches with elevated E. coli levels. WUPHD also tests for harmful toxins if algal blooms are observed. Suspicious-looking algae can be reported to EGLE by calling the Environmental Assistance Center or by sending an e-mail to AlgaeBloom@Michigan.gov.
