The Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) says it has been getting calls from curious beach-goers regarding the status of some of its beaches.
Currently, Sandy Point Campground, Pierre’s Point Campground and Glen Echo Campground are all under water advisories issued by the Adams Lake Indian Band.
The advisory is the result of high levels of E. coli bacteria. The CSRD says water in those areas is unsafe for swimming and recreation.
