Jamesville Beach is closed for swimming due to an algal bloom. The Onondaga County Health Department says it will conduct water sampling to confirm there are no toxins before the beach is reopened.
Algal blooms can turn the water green and form thick surface scum on the water. People and animals can get seriously ill if they come in contact with a bloom. The Health Department says while the beach is closed, the park remains open.
