We have a few beaches that have freshwater creeks running through them. Of course the kids are in the creeks more than the chillier beach water. A few of these beaches drain from heavily populated, urban watersheds. We want to put signs up to teach people about the increased bacterial levels that occasionally occur after a heavy rain.
If you don't have signs, do you have catch phrases like, "When it rains, it drains. Give the creek 48 hours after a rain before playing in the water."
Do you post the creek or have auto closures based on rain events?
Thank you for your help!
