Are inland lakes being monitored?
Yes. All inland state parks have been monitoring their recreational bathing waters for E. coli at least once a week. In 2004, ten popular inland State Parks and Forests beaches were selected for a pilot program to expand the coastal beach program to inland lakes. These ten beaches are listed below. They were monitored at least 4 times a week and posted with the same signs used for the coastal program.The 2004 pilot program was a collaborative effort funded with about $106,000 provided by the WDNR, Department of Health and Family Services, and the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene. In the future, depending on funding, it is hoped the inland monitoring program can be expanded to other public beaches around the state.
