Walton County -- Effective immediately, the Florida Department of Health in Walton County is rescinding the December 13, 2017 health advisory for the Morrison Springs bathing place. 

DOH Walton feels that water quality in this area has improved considerably due to the reduction in bacteria levels.

We will continue to monitor the water quality in this area monthly and routinely advise the public of our results.  For more information, contact the DOH Walton at 850-892-8021.

Sampling is also conducted by other county health departments at marine beaches and results can be found at Department of Health's Beach Water Quality website at www.floridahealth.gov/environmental-health/beach-water-quality/index.html.
