E Coli Report Withheld

Catching up on reading after my out of town business trip, the Star's headline caught my attention. Hard to believe it takes four weeks for DNR to disclose sky high readings at the Lake of the Ozarks. The 4th of July weekend here had a similar situation, high readings in C Cove caused a ban on swimming in the Cove and beach, just before the busiest weekend of the year on the lake. Difference being WLIC acted promptly (I am told) and made the right call. As luck would have it, subsequent readings showed the problem had resolved...it was safe to go back into the water. Kudos to WLIC for monitoring the lake and taking the necessary action. Although one would think it is a no brainer, the situation at the Lake of the Ozarks shows it takes brains, and guts.
