Public swimming areas all over the state are routinely tested by DES for high bacteria/e.coli levels. These occur after heavy rains and runoff, and are usually very short term as follow up testing is done quickly.
Water conditions at Weirs Beach are not indicative of conditions at other locations, so "the beach area" may be closed, not "the lake".
