Health Alert: Bayou Texar at Bayview Park

By DOH-Escambia

September 17, 2014

PENSACOLA - Effective immediately, in response to bacteriological sampling, the Florida Department of Health in Escambia County (FDOH-Escambia) is rescinding the health alert for the following beach in Escambia County, Florida:

Bayou Texar at Bayview Park

The FDOH-Escambia County feels that the water quality in this area has improved considerably due to the reduction in bacteria levels.

A health alert remains in effect for Bayou Grande, Navy Point - North of Sunset Avenue Bridge.

FDOH-Escambia advises against any water-related activities at the above location due to the potential for high bacteria levels. The bacteriological sampling occurred during water quality monitoring activities and the level of bacteria has exceeded the level established by state guidelines.

We will continue to monitor the water quality in these areas and advise the public of our results. For more information, contact the FDOH-Escambia’s Environmental Health office at 850-595-6700 or visit www.EscambiaHealth.com.
