LUVERNE — With Memorial Day weekend coming up, officials at Blue Mounds State Park in southwest Minnesota are dealing with the discovery of E. coli in the water.

The park’s website says the water system serving the office and main campground tested positive for the bacteria May 12 and is not safe for drinking.

The park suggests visitors bring their own drinking water. The park office also is providing gallon jugs of drinking water.
