Water Contact Warning Issued by Allegan County Health Department

The Allegan County Health Department has issued an advisory against contact with surface water (such as lakes). It would be best to avoid contact for at least a few days after the lake returns to normal levels.

To be completely clear, the advisory is not specific to Miner Lake. It was a general advisory notice for lakes in our area. Sam Martin (Association President) spoke with Bill Hinz several times over that last few days and Bill’s advice was for our residents to avoid contact for the next several days.
