VANCOUVER – Clark County Public Health lifted the swim beach warning at Battle Ground Lake Thursday (June 6), after the latest water samples did not show elevated levels of bacterial contamination.
Public Health issued a warning advisory for the swim beach at Battle Ground Lake on May 30, after routine testing revealed elevated levels of E. coli bacteria.

Test results from water samples taken on Monday, June 3 came back today and showed improved water quality, prompting Public Health to lift the closure.
The warning signs have been removed from Battle Ground Lake.
