E. Coli contaminates Agate Bay water

By KRNV-TV

According to a voice recording on the Agate Bay Water Company phone line, the water provided in Agate Bay (located between Kings Beach and Dollar Point on the North Shore) is contaminated with E. Coli.

All residents are under a boil water order.

E. Coli bacteria was found in a water sample collected on Dec. 13.

The boil water order will be in place until the California Department of Public Health determines that there’s no threat of contamination. They are hoping to lift the order by Saturday.
