Palm Beach County, Fla. — The Florida Department of Health in Palm Beach (DOH-Palm
Beach) has issued water quality advisories for Dubois Park in Jupiter, Florida, Phil Foster Park in
Riviera Beach, Florida, and Ocean Inlet Park in Ocean Ridge, Florida.

Tests completed on Monday, February 19, 2024, indicate that the water quality at Dubois Park,
Phil Foster Park, and Ocean Inlet Park do not meet the recreational water quality criteria for
Enterococcus bacteria recommended by the Florida Department of Health.

DOH-Palm Beach advises against any water-related activities at these locations due to an
increased risk of illness in swimmers. Bacteriological sampling conducted during regular water
quality monitoring showed that the level of bacteria exceeds the level established by state
guidelines.

This advisory will continue until bacteria levels are below the accepted health level.
