CONWAY — Conway Lake Beach was reopened Thursday after being closed Tuesday because of higher than acceptable levels of  E. coli bacteria.

The beach was posted Tuesday afternoon with a yellow advisory notice stating that “high levels of bacteria have been detected in the water” and that the water is “currently not suitable for wading or swimming” as exposure to the water may cause vomiting, diarrhea or fever.
