No-Swim Advisory Issued For Parts Of Little Maule Lake

MIAMI, FL—Miami-Dade County issued a no-swim advisory for Little Maule Lake on Wednesday after a wastewater pipe broke, causing discharge into the lake and surrounding waters.

The public is advised to avoid the water in the following areas: Northeast 183rd street to the north, Oleta River State Park Beach to the south, Biscayne Boulevard to the west, and the Intracoastal Waterway to the east. Miami-Dade County says Greynolds Park is also in the affected area.

This advisory also includes other water recreational activities such as fishing and boating, the county says.

The advisory will be in effect until further notice. The county Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources will analyze water samples to determine when these areas of Little Maule Lake are safe for recreation again.
