Main Beach under advisory for elevated bacteria levels

WOODSTOCK – Main Beach in Crystal Lake has been placed on an advisory by the McHenry County Health Department due to elevated bacteria levels found in the water.

To prevent illness associated with swimming, all licensed beaches on the 13 lakes in McHenry County are tested every two weeks for E. coli throughout the summer to determine water quality.
