Lake Powhatan Closed
Concerns over the safety of the water at a popular lake has it closed to fishing and swimming.
Officials say both Lake Pohatan and the beach there will stay closed as long as bacterial levels stay high in the lake.
Forest service officials say they test this lake frequently during the summer, and a test late last week showed high levels of fecal coliform bacteria in the water.
That bacteria can make people sick, usually the symptoms are nausea and diarrhea.
Officials closed the lake Saturday, disappointing some swimmers and campers.
Fecal coliform is a bacteria that people and animals use to digest food and the contamination comes from waste.
Dan Andrews, Lake Powhatan visitor, a lot of people come to the campground knowing there's a lake here they can go at, of course the number of people who come to the campground now has some affect on the lake.
Experts test the lake weekly in the summer and will test it again Wednesday. Officials will decide Thursday whether to reopen the lake to swimmers.
They blame the rise in the bacteria levels on the heavy rainfall we've had during July.By Sherrill BarberFollow Sherrill on Twitter @SherrillBarber
