OZARK (AP) -- A southwest Missouri county health department has posted health advisories for three waterways because of high bacteria levels.

"The Springfield News-Leader reports that the Christian County Health Department has posted advisories warning swimmers about high levels of E. coli bacteria at the Jim Turner Access at Finley River Park in Ozark, the Shelvin Rock Access southwest of Nixa and the Delaware Access west of Nixa.

"The health department tests public waterways for E. coli, a type of bacteria that can cause diarrhea, dehydration and other problems. Christian County Health Department Administrator Cindy Bilyeu said anyone who plans to swim in the river on Memorial Day weekend should take a shower immediately afterward." ~ Columbia Daily Tribune, May 26, 2013
