Algoma Swimming advisory issued at Crescent Beach An advisory urging people not to swim at Algoma's Crescent Beach was issued Thursday after a water sample taken there Wednesday tested above the minimum E. coli bacteria level indicating "poor water quality." Advisories are issued when the number of E. coli colonies in a 100-milliliter sample is between 235 and 1,000, while a reading greater than 1,000 warrants a beach closure. Wednesday's "fast test" at the Crescent Beach had the "Most Probable Number," or MPN, of 365.4 E. coli bacteria. Beach advisories and closures remain in effect until two consecutive samples test below 235 E. coli bacteria. This is the third time this summer the Crescent Beach has been under an advisory or closure. The beach previously was under an advisory from July 22 to July 24, and had been closed to swimming from June 19 through June 23.
