State officials say children, the elderly and those with a weak immune system should avoid swimming in the water at Madison Lake in Madison County because of elevated E. Coli levels.  The Ohio Department of Natural Resources has placed signs on the beaches, but has not said what led to the elevated bacteria levels.  On Friday, similar warnings were posted at Alum Creek and Delaware Reservoirs.
