PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT UPDATE

RESTRICTION LIFTED August 14, 2013 Sampling and testing of the water affected by a sanitary sewage overflow that occurred on August 9, 2013 in the vicinity of the north western end of Marsh Run Cove in Deep Creek Lake indicate that bacteria levels have returned to normal. All results are below the level considered acceptable for bathing beach water by the Environmental Protection Agency. Therefore, the restriction on swimming and fishing in the affected area has been lifted. The Garrett County Health Department advises that universal precautions should always be taken when coming in contact with any recreational water. Every effort should be made not to swallow any water, and bathing or showering after swimming is recommended. Questions may be directed to the Department of Public Utilities at 301-334-6983. .
