Environmental authorities confirmed bacteria levels were well below official thresholds.

Wonderful!

I will not touch Ohio River waters, so I sure as hell would not get in the Seine.

It was closed to swimming today. It rained and the sewer system overflowed. Not surprisingly that raised bacteria counts big time.
