The Swim Beach at Aurora Reservoir has been closed due to elevated levels of bacteria, as reported by CBS News. The closure is a precautionary measure to ensure public safety, following routine water quality testing that indicated unsafe conditions for swimming.

Authorities have advised the public to avoid swimming in the reservoir until further notice. They are working to monitor the water quality and will reopen the beach once it is deemed safe.
