Brooksville- FL (September 13, 2017) Due to the potential effects on water quality related to the recent severe weather, the Florida Department of Health in Hernando County has issued a precautionary beach advisory for all public beaches in Hernando County.

At this time, swimming is not recommended.

Tests will be conducted, when possible, to determine the water quality at these locations. Until those results are available, you should assume that water contact may pose an increased risk of disease, particularly for susceptible individuals.

There may also be unseen debris hazards under water.
