From the Henssler Financial Studios, this is your news minute on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, presented by Engineered Solutions of Georgia. Today is Monday July 3rd, and I'm Brian Giffin
A portion of the Chattahoochee River in Cobb and Fulton counties has been closed by federal authorities due to a sewage spill and high levels of E. coli bacteria. The closure extends from the Chattahoochee Nature Center to the Johnson Ferry Road crossing. Water quality tests revealed E. coli levels almost 300 times higher than the recommended limits for recreation. The closure was recommended by public health professionals to prevent health risks associated with E. coli contamination. Symptoms of E. coli infection include diarrhea, stomach cramps, and nausea. Individuals are advised to avoid direct contact with the affected areas until further notice. Further closures may be implemented if E. coli levels remain high. For updates, visit www.nps.gov/CHAT.
