Those who visit a Lake Huron beach have been advised to "swim with caution" as we head into the weekend.

Lambton Public Health said warning signs were up at Grand Bend South Beach on Thursday. However, an update was made Friday to state that there are no posted signs at the beach.

The health unit conducts regular water quality tests at Grand Bend, Pinery, Ipperwash, C.J. McEwan, Bright's Grove and Canatara Park beaches.

Beachgoers are reminded that following heavy rainfall, the water at area beaches may be temporarily polluted for up to 48 hours.

Reports are available online at Lambton Public Health, or text the word Beach to 519-909-3003.
