ORIGINAL STORY:
The Palm Beach County Department of Health is issuing a health advisory for six beaches.
Testing on samples Tuesday revealed a high level of contaminants in the water, according to PBCHD.
The levels were higher than 71 colonies per milliliter of water, which puts the water quality in the poor range. Swimming in these waters could cause diseases, infections or rashes.
The beaches under the “No Swim” advisory include: Carlin Park, Riviera Beach, Phil Foster, Boynton Beach, Palm Beach Municipal, and Lake Worth.
The health department is not sure what caused the high levels of contaminants, but heavy rains, high surf and traffic levels can contribute, experts said.

The health department took samples from 13 locations Tuesday, ranging from Boca Raton to Jupiter.
The no-swim advisories will remain until levels return to normal. New samples will be taken Wednesday morning.
