The Santa Barbara County Environmental Health Services issued health-status warnings Wednesday for three local beaches after results from weekly testing indicated that bacteria levels in the water exceeded one or more health standards

The affected beaches are Arroyo Burro Beach, East Beach at Mission Creek, and Jalama Beach.

Contact with the ocean water may increase risk of illness. Swimmers are advised to stay out of the water a minimum of 50 yards away from both sides of creek mouths or storm drains.
