FORT WALTON BEACH — The Florida Department of Health in Okaloosa County has announced water quality test results for local parks.
No Okaloosa County parks have potentially hazardous bathing water, the FDOH-Okaloosa stated Aug. 15.
None of the parks failed tests based on EPA-recommended enterococci standards. Enteric bacteria's presence indicates fecal pollution from stormwater runoff, pets and wildlife or human sewage.
