Essential word

The next take a look at outcomes could not mirror present water high quality situations. Water samples can take one to a few days to course of and heavy rainfall, excessive winds or wave exercise, massive numbers of waterfowl close to a seaside, or massive numbers of swimmers can quickly change water high quality.

It’s best to at all times verify present situations earlier than deciding to make use of a seaside. You also needs to monitor different components that may recommend a seaside is unsafe to make use of, equivalent to floating particles, oil, discoloured water, dangerous odours, and extreme weed development.

Whereas we try to replace this story with the present situations, it is best to verify the latest take a look at outcomes by visiting the native well being unit web sites at Peterborough Public Health, Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit. and Hastings Prince Edward Public Health. As famous above, the seashores at Rogers Cove and Beavermead are examined each enterprise day so the outcomes listed under is probably not present.
