## Resource

Esther Simplot Park Pond 1 in Boise is temporarily off-limits for swimming after recent tests detected unsafe E. coli levels—raising a red flag for swimmers. The city’s weekly water checks, conducted from May through September, caught the spike, prompting immediate warning signs. While weather fluctuations can trigger such spikes, officials are already working to restore water quality and will remove the signs as soon as levels return to safe thresholds. Swimmers are urged to avoid swallowing water, shower afterward, and keep pets away—because even public ponds come with risks. Stay tuned: the city will let you know when it’s safe to dive back in.
