Thursday, Aug. 25, 2016 (Halifax, NS) – The Halifax Regional Municipality is advising residents that Dingle Beach, at Fleming Park in Halifax, and Government Wharf Beach, in Musquodoboit Harbour, are both closed to swimming until further notice due to high bacteria levels in the water.
Beach supervisors test the water quality weekly at all supervised municipal beaches during the summer months. Recent test results indicate bacteria levels at both beaches exceed Health Canada guidelines for recreational use.
High bacteria levels can be caused by a number of naturally occurring factors, including weather conditions and waterfowl. Staff will continue testing the water at these beaches until bacteria levels return to normal. The municipality will advise residents when the beaches reopen.
