Delavan Community Beach Advisory: Delavan Community Beach regularly checks the water quality to keep visitors informed  Recent tests show higher levels of E. coli bacteria in the water near the shore. Because these levels are above safe standards, a swim advisory has been issued. Signs at the beach will indicate this advisory, see photo below for examples.   Swimming in water with high E. coli levels can cause stomach illnesses. However, E. coli levels can change over time so the advisory might not always reflect current conditions.   For the latest updates, maps, and information on which beaches are open,  visit https://apps.dnr.wi.gov/beachhealth/healthmap.aspx. Signs at the beach will also be updated regularly with the most current information.

Four Ways For Lake Homes To Reduce Nutrients Into Lake Delavan

1. Only use no-phosphorus fertilizer on your lawn and gardens. Be sure to check the fertilizer bag when you purchase fertilizer. Look for the package formula of nitrate-phosphorus- potassium, such as 22-0-15. The middle number representing Phosphorus should be 0.

2. When mowing you lawn, avoid blowing the grass clippings into the lake. (Make sure your Landscaper does also).

3. Keep leaves and other plants out of the lake.

4. Sweep up grass clipping and fertilizer spills on drive way and other hard surfaces.
