 Now, the swimming areas at three state parks in the state were closed yesterday because of high levels of bacteria in the water. The state park swimming closures were at Wadsworth Falls in Middlefield, Wardenbrook State Park in Wallingford, and Day Pond State Park in Colchester. Water will be retested at the locations today, will be reopened to swimmers once bacteria drops below acceptable levels, likely the uptick in bacteria caused by the heavy rains earlier this week. WGCH News Center time is 8.53.
