06/10/2026

Now that the warm weather is here to stay and we are all feeling the pull to enjoy the beautiful Wisconsin outdoors, this is just a friendly reminder to make sure we are all being safe!

The Eau Claire Health Department provides regular updates on the safety of 8 Eau Claire County Public Beaches (Big Falls Beach, C**n Fork Beach, C**n Fork Campground Beach, Half Moon Beach, Half Moon Beach South, Lake Altoona Beach, Lake Eau Claire Beach, Riverview Beach)

As of today (6/9), Lake Altoona Beach and Big Falls Beach have water quality advisories due to elevated bacteria levels. Water activities are not recommended. This water can make you sick and cause skin rashes. If you choose to use the water: don’t swallow it, wash your hands before eating, and shower afterward.

For updates throughout the summer (until Labor Day), you can go to: https://www.eauclairewi.gov/government/our-divisions/health-department/beach-closings

Neighborhood Services serves as a central point of contact for a variety of non-emergency issues that impact city of Eau Claire neighborhoods and quality of life throughout our community.

This resource was created to connect residents with the appropriate resources when something doesn't seem right in their neighborhood or if there are specific neighborhood concerns

Neighborhood Services handles:

Parking enforcement
Nuisance and Quality of Life code complaints
Trash and refuse issues
Other common neighborhood concerns

City officials say the goal is to provide residents with a clearer, more responsive path for addressing issues that arise in neighborhoods across Eau Claire.

Update on Downtown paid parking:
Downtown Paid Parking Delayed Until August 1, 2026

The start date for downtown paid parking will move from June 1 to
August 1, 2026. The delay is due to longer-than-anticipated lead times for parking kiosks that are needed for the new system.

Beginning August 1, 2026, downtown Eau Claire will transition to a paid parking system. This includes on-street parking, kiosks, and updated parking ramp pricing.

To learn more about how parking in downtown Eau Claire will work starting August 1, visit: https://www.parkec.org/
