Attention Residents and Visitors:
Newfield Township has been made aware that people who have had contact with Hightower Lake in and around the Lake Park have contracted Swimmer’s Itch. To reduce your risk, please be sure to dry off completely with a clean towel, shower as soon as is practicable after exiting the water. If a rash appears, use an anti-itch cortisone cream and avoid contact with people with compromised immune systems.
As always, swimming at any Township park, beach, or river access site is done at your own risk and no water quality testing is done by the Township.
