Health officials are warning the public not to swim at 19 beaches in Nassau County because the beaches may have poor water quality caused by high levels of bacteria. <\/p>\n
The Nassau County Department of Health issued the advisory Monday, saying that it's a precautionary measure for beaches known to be impacted by storm-water runoff caused by recent heavy rainfall. <\/p>\n
Storm-water runoff can cause bacteria levels to exceed the standard for bathing water quality, the health department said. <\/p>\n
The advisory was to be lifted at 1 p.m. Tuesday unless additional heavy rainfall revealed continued elevated bacteria levels. <\/p>\n
