Newbury, n.h.
Visitors are encouraged not to enter the water, which exceeded state standards for fecal bacteria, according to the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Service’s website.
Officials also have posted a warning for Todd Lake, also located off Route 103 in Newbury, N.H., for a cyanobacteria bloom. Lake users and pets should proceed with caution.
Kate Michener, a spokeswoman for the state, said a worker resampled Todd Lake earlier this week, though the results were not yet available.
Michener said she expects water samples taken at Sunapee State Park on Wednesday to come back today.
Officials will update the state’s website when both bodies of water have been cleared of high levels of bacteria.

Woodstock
Jim Marmar, the pharmacy manager at Woodstock Pharmacy, said power was out for a little more than three hours before being restored after 1 p.m.
“People had to pay with cash,” he said, after battery backups on store registers went dead after about an hour.
About 250 customers in Woodstock were affected by the outage. Green Mountain Power spokeswoman Dorothy Schnure said it was caused by the failure of a piece of equipment known as a “pothead,” the part where an underground cable terminates and then helps send power up a pole.
“It’s a pretty intense repair,” Schnure said.
Meanwhile, asked about some other recent outages in the White River Valley, Schnure said they are indirectly related to a powerful storm in July that cut power at the time to 26,000 customers.
“We have had some outages recently in the Randolph and Royalton (area) caused by trees falling from outside of our right of way. It isn’t unusual after a big storm to have weakened trees fail weeks after the storm,” she said via email.
GMP has had crews working to remove so-called “danger trees,” which “appear unhealthy and likely to fall,” Schnure said.
