Jul. 20, 2007 - Beach Safety Results

Beach results

 

 

Halton Region’s Health Department tests recreational water throughout Halton. Beaches are selected based on use for swimming and other water sports. These tests are done weekly, or if conditions change.

Beach water samples taken on July 17 revealed that the following beaches have acceptable levels of bacteria and are safe for swimming:

  • Burlington - The Beachway North
  • Burlington  - The Beachway South
  • Milton - Kelso Conservation Area
  • Oakville - Coronation Park East
  • Oakville - Coronation Park West

The following beaches have high levels of bacteria and are unsafe for swimming:

  • Oakville - Bronte Park Beach
  • Halton Hills - Prospect Park Old Beach

Residents can call Halton Region to find out which beaches have been closed due to poor water quality.  Beach quality information is available 24 hours a day by calling 905-825-6000 or toll free 1-866-4HALTON (1-866-442-5866).  During regular business hours ask for beach information, and after regular business hours press “2” for health information.

Information is updated weekly or as conditions change.  This information is also posted on Halton Region’s website at www.halton.ca.

Bummer. I was planning on taking a trip to Oakville soon. Oh well, we will have to go to another beach. Thanks for letting me know.
