Description
The Florida Department of Health in Pinellas County lifted the public health advisory for Clearwater Beach Mandalay Park and Sand Key on Saturday, according to a news release.
The initial advisory was issued Friday after levels of enterococcus bacteria were found to be outside of acceptable limits. These results were anticipated after Hurricane Idalia moved through the region earlier this week.
Recent testing conducted produced results that were at a satisfactory level for enterococcus bacteria, meeting both the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state recreational water standards, according to a statement.
