Water Quality Testing At Lake Huron Beaches Done For Summer

The Huron County Health Unit is no longer monitoring water quality on Lake Huron beaches for the rest of the summer.

Public Health Manager Jean-Guy Albert explains the testing of water quality is a summer position and the students who did that are now back at university.

Albert says swimmers concerned about things like e-coli levels can follow the recommendations on their website which are also posted on all of the permanent signs on the beaches.

They state that e-coli levels are likely to be higher after a heavy rain.  And if an adult, standing waist deep in water, cannot see their feet, Albert recommends people should not swim in the lake.
