Salem, Utah County, is dealing with an E. coli warning at the Salem Pond. The pond and park attached to it are still open for boaters and fishers, but health experts are asking people not to swim due to potentially harmful levels of the bacteria. Ellen Bailey, environmental scientist at the Utah Division of Water Quality, explained, “E. coli is an indicator of fecal contamination from humans or wildlife or pets. It can cause diarrhea, vomiting, cramps, fever, rashes.” The Utah Division of Water Quality tests recreation areas like this one regularly for algae bloom and E. coli; they say often the issue will resolve itself with time, but until then, people should be vigilant about where they recreate.
