Authorities from the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District have released a public advisory for Edgewater Beach, set for Thursday, August 24, 2023. The advisory has been implemented due to the sewage overflow, which transpired after the intensity of the storms surpassed the capacity of the area's sewer infrastructure. The overflow has led to concerns about water quality and safety for visitors to Edgewater Beach.The protocol for lifting the advisory involves thorough monitoring and assessment. Teams will be collecting water samples twice a day at ten different locations along the beach, both near the shoreline and farther out. These samples will undergo rigorous testing to evaluate the levels of E. coli bacteria present.
The advisory will be revoked and the sampling frequency reduced when the E. coli bacterial levels in the water dip below the federal and state advisory standards. The accepted threshold is set at 235 colony counts of E. coli per 100 milliliters of water.
