MOUNTAIN HOME, Ark. (AP) — Officials say a swim beach in Mountain Home will remain closed indefinitely due to concerns about E. coli levels.
The Mountain Home office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' says that higher than acceptable bacteria levels were found during recent routine testing by the Arkansas Department of Health at the Highway 125 beach on Bull Shoals Lake.
Department officials say the high bacteria levels could be from run-off following recent heavy rains.
The beach will remain closed until further notice.
