HEALTH UNIT: Beach Advisory Issued - Main Beach at Boulevard Lake
July 8, 2015 - A swimming advisory has been issued for the following beach based on water samples taken on July 6, 2015:
• Main Beach at Boulevard Lake
Swimming advisories do not close the beach or stop people from swimming. They let swimmers know about the water conditions. Swimming in water with high levels of E. coli can cause skin, eye, nose and throat infections, as well as stomach illness.
To reduce your risk:
• avoid swallowing beach water
• towel off after a swim
• shower once at home
Beach water sampling will continue until the last week of August. A complete list of all beaches sampled by the Health Unit is available at TBDHU.COM by clicking on the Environmental Health page.
