BSL lake could stay closed through weekend

BOILING SPRING LAKES, NC (WWAY) — The City of Boiling Spring Lakes has closed Spring Lake for testing. City Clerk Linda Merry says the city closed the lake yesterday after finding out Wednesday that a baby may have gotten sick after swimming in the lake recently.

Merry says an environmental company from Wilmington is testing the water quality. Results may be available late this afternoon, but Merry said the city may not reopen the lake until Monday.
