KEARNEY- Multiple lakes in the Two River’s area have tested positive for E. Coli. These lakes include Cottonmill Swimming Pond in Kearney, Harlan County Reservoir in Alma, and Windmill State Recreation Area Lake No. 5 in Gibbon. When E. coli bacteria levels test above 235 colonies/100 ml a Health Alert is not issued. However, conditions are at a higher risk to human health when swimming. Considering the more rapid changes in bacteria conditions, signs are not posted with these higher levels. Although, we want people to be aware of beach conditions and use their own judgment as to whether they use a listed water body.
