Boulder Reservoir Swim Beach Reopened After Elevated Bacteria Levels (UPDATED)

The Boulder Reservoir swim beach has reopened after temporary elevated levels of bacteria.

The Reservoir occasionallycloses the designated swimming area, but not the boating, waterskiing, fishing or picnicking activities, due to elevated levels of bacteria.

To protect the public, staff routinely test the Reservoir's water quality. The Reservoir swim area has reopened as bacteria levels have returned to acceptable levels.
