The beach at Mosquito Lake State Park in Cortland has been placed under a contamination advisory by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

The most recent sample results, taken on Wednesday, showed E. coli levels of 940 cfu (colony forming units) per 100 milliliters of water.

Wednesday's samples were four times higher than the Ohio Water Quality Standard's maximum acceptable public beach E. coli levels.
