The Florida Department of Health has reported that DuBois Park, a public beach in Jupiter, has a high level of Enterococci in the beach water which designated the beach as having ‘Poor’ water quality.

The increased bacteria levels could be due to excessive wildlife, heavy recreational usage, high surf from high winds, high tides, or runoff following heavy rains.

Given DuBois’ current ‘Advisory’ status, DOH is advising that the body of water is outside of the EPA’s standard and is considered a potential health risk to anyone who may bath in the water.
