High bacteria levels in the Gulf of Mexico off Bolivar Peninsula have prompted a no-swimming advisory there, Galveston County health officials said Tuesday.


Routine testing of waters detected unsafe bacteria levels at 12 Bolivar locations, according to the Galveston County Health District. The sites are Retilon Road; Magnolia Lane; Helen Boulevard; O'Neil Road; Crystal Beach Road; Gulf Shores Drive; Alberdie Road - Emerald Beach No. 2; Barbados Road; Gilmore Street Access; Center Road; Driftwood and Deens Street.


No elevated bacteria levels were found on Galveston Island, said Kurt Koopmann, spokesman at the Galveston County Health District.


When elevated bacteria levels are detected, water samples are taken daily until the tests return to normal. Results of water sampling on Tuesday were being studied, Koopmann said.


Under the advisory, swimming is discouraged. Subsequent testing will determine how long the advisory will continue, Koopmann said.
