TL;DR

Three state park swimming areas in Connecticut, including Cockaponset State Forest, Wadsworth Falls State Park, and Wharton Brook State Park, were closed due to high bacteria levels. The closures were a result of heavy rainfall, and while the state parks remained open, only the swimming areas were impacted. The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection tests for indicator bacteria to evaluate the potential for water contamination.
