• DOH-Volusia Lifts Water Quality Health Advisory (floridahealth.gov) — Water at Lighthouse Point Park in Ponce Inlet has tested back within safe bacterial limits, so the Department of Health has lifted its prior advisory. Recent samples taken April 14 met state Enterococcus guidelines, meaning beachgoers can resume normal water activities while keeping an eye on future test updates online.
