FORT WALTON BEACH — Here are the Florida Department of Health in Okaloosa County’s water quality test results for local parks.

No Okaloosa County parks have potentially hazardous bathing water, the FDOH-Okaloosa stated Oct. 24.

The tests are based on EPA-recommended enterococci standards. Enteric bacteria's presence indicates fecal pollution from stormwater runoff, pets and wildlife or human sewage.
