Swim Beach At Boulder Reservoir Remains Closed

BOULDER, Colo. (CBS4)- The Boulder Reservoir swim area remained closed on Thursday because of elevated levels of bacteria.

The swim area, located at 5565 N. 51st Street, will remain closed until the levels begin to drop.

Swimming was temporarily suspended on Wednesday afternoon as a precaution after a routine water sampling test determined bacteria levels to be elevated. The increased levels are believed to be a result of rain runoff.

The reservoir swim area will reopen once bacteria levels are reduced. There is no estimate on when that may be.
