 Sound Rivers issued a report on tests conducted in recreational sites of rivers that found six sites failed their tests for fecal bacteria and 23 sites had positive tests for E. coli. The sites that failed tests for fecal bacteria are Havens Gardens in Washington, Bonner Point in Bath, Cotton Patch Landing, and River Road in Tarboro. Sound Rivers stated that elevated levels of fecal bacteria in the water can bring an increased risk of gastrointestinal illness and skin infections for pets and humans. I'm Marianne Mija.
