Buford Dam Park has been closed for Labor Day Weekend because of a failed beach water test, according to the Corps of Engineers.
“During routine water sampling, the beach area at Buford Dam Park indicated E. coli levels exceeding water quality standards,” the Corps said in a news release. “The presence of higher levels of E. coli may indicate presence of bacteria that can cause health concerns.”
Preliminary testing to reopen the park will begin Monday.
