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 Florida Department of Health in Okaloosa County stated May 31.
No 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.
Only one, James Lee Park, Destin, had moderate (instead of good) water quality.
