10 beaches in Metro Detroit closed for high bacteria levels

(FOX 2) - Fifteen beaches in Michigan, including several in Metro Detroit are closed this weekend due to contamination and other high levels of bacteria.

Nine beaches in Oakland County and one in Macomb County are closed, according to the state's BeachGuard tracker which monitors water quality and other contaminants in and near water sources.

There are other advisories at beaches in Muskegon, Bay, Roscommon, and Arenac counties as well.

The closures pertain to bacteria levels like E. coli. While some of the bacteria sources are unknown, the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy says stormwater runoff from the recent round of inclement weather is also to blame.
