Perdido Bay swimming advisory lifted

LILLIAN, Ala. (WALA) - The Alabama Department of Public Health has lifted a swimming advisory for Perdido Bay at the Spanish Cove Pier in Lillian.

The advisory was issued Friday and was lifted after water quality tests at the site revealed enterococci levels were below the EPA threshold of 104 colonies per 100 milliliters.

The Alabama Department of Public Health and the Alabama Department of Environmental Management operate the bacteriological water quality monitoring and notification program under a grant from the EPA’s BEACH Act Program.
