Reports label three beaches as health risk
If you were planning on visiting the beach this weekend, you may want to reconsider. The Pasco County Health Department issued water advisories Friday for three beaches — Hudson beach (officially known as Robert J. Strickland Beach), Oelsner Park Beach and Gulf Harbors Beach — after finding high levels of fecal bacteria in the water. Exposure can cause disease, infections or rashes. The Health Department says the water poses "a potential health risk to the bathing public." An advisory at the Energy and Marine Center has been lifted. Later tests showed lower bacteria counts.
