Swimming advisory issued for Nepahwin Beach

Public Health Sudbury & Districts has issued a swimming advisory for Nepahwin Park Beach in the city’s South End.

Water quality testing has shown the bacteriological water quality exceeds acceptable limits. As such, Public Health has posted swimming advisory signs at the beach to inform the public the water quality is not suitable for recreational bathing at this time. “Going into the water when bacteria are present in high concentrations puts bathers at risk for infections,” Public Health stated in a news release. “Illness can occur if swimmers swallow beach water; if water gets into their ears, eyes, or nose; or if it comes in contact with open wounds.”

Public Health has enhanced its monitoring efforts at Nepahwin and continues to take regular water samples for testing. Public Health Sudbury & Districts said it will notify the public when bacterial levels return to acceptable standards for bathing beaches.
