Many residents have been trying to keep cool during the hot weather and I’m pleased to announce that Prospect Park Old Beach is safe for swimming.
The Halton Region Health Department tests recreational water throughout Halton. Beaches are selected based on use for swimming and other water sports. These tests are done weekly.
Beach water samples taken on July 5/6 revealed the following beaches have acceptable levels of bacteria and are safe for swimming:
• Halton Hills – Prospect Park Old Beach
• Milton – Kelso Conservation Area
• Burlington – Beachway Park North, Beachway Park South
• Oakville – Coronation Park East, Coronation Park West, Bronte Beach Park
Residents can call Halton Region to find out which beaches have been closed due to poor water quality. Beach water quality information is available 24 hours a day by dialing 311 or calling 905-825-6000, toll free 1-866-442-5866 or TTY 905-827-9983. During regular business hours ask for beach information, and after regular business hours press 0 for health information. Information is updated weekly and also posted on Halton Region’s website at www.halton.ca/beaches.
