According to DOH-Okaloosa, tests completed on Monday, October 14, 2024, indicate that the water quality across the various sampling sites meets the recreational water quality criteria for Enterococcus bacteria recommended by the Florida Department of Health. However, a wastewater release in Boggy Bayou has affected Lincoln Park.

DOH-Okaloosa said waters contaminated with wastewater present several health hazards to humans and may contain untreated human sewage with microbes that could cause gastrointestinal and other diseases.

Anyone who comes into contact with the affected waterway should wash thoroughly, especially before eating or drinking. Children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable to disease, so every precaution should be taken if they come into contact with the affected waters.
