The Halifax Regional Municipality is advising residents that Penhorn Beach in Dartmouth has reopened to swimming.
Penhorn Beach is a supervised beach. Municipal staff regularly test the water quality at all supervised municipal beaches, as well as two unsupervised beaches, during the summer months.
Previous test results showed high bacteria levels in the water, but follow-up tests now show the water is once again safe, in accordance with Health Canada guidelines.
