Close, but not quite. It's e. coli bacteria. They closed some of the beaches, including Harriet, for this reason a week or so ago. The news says it gets worse after a heavy rain because of sewer runoff and stuff like that. Supposedly they're now at federally acceptable levels so the lakes were reopened. I wouldn't go in right after a rainstorm though.
