Beach Testing

The Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge District Heath Unit conducts tests weekly at local beaches to test for E.coli levels in the water. Results are posted every Thursday and Friday on the health unit website. Warnings are also posted at local beaches or are available by calling 1-866-888-4577 extension 5006.

In 2020, the health unit moved to a three-colour system of reporting beach result:

• Green:  beach is open/safe for swimming.
• Yellow:  warning, high counts of bacteria may be present in the water. Swimming is not advised, as it may lead to illness, but those who do should avoid dunking their heads or swallowing water.
• Red:  beach is closed due to high levels of bacteria; unsafe for swimming.
