(September 4, 2020) Kelly's Beach - OPEN The latest bacterial test of the water at Kelly's Beach indicated acceptable levels of bacteria and can be used for swi...mming and other recreation purposes. Please take your trash home with you, if you are able. Practice physical distancing from others outside your social bubble. No smoking or dogs on the beach. Washrooms open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily through the month of September. The beach results are updated once weekly throughout the summer season. Read more at bit.ly/LGLBeaches While The Leeds, Grenville & Lanark District Health Unit strives to alert swimmers when conditions are not suitable for swimming, the public must be aware that conditions may change, and that there is always a level of risk when swimming in untreated water. Testing the water for bacteria is one factor used to determine water quality. The quality of surface water is changeable so the Health Unit advises bathers and swimmers that before they visit a local beach, think about other issues that may affect the quality and safety of the water, such as heavy rain in the area within 24 hours and waterfowl droppings in the water or on the beach as these may contribute to high bacteria levels. Other variables, which are assessed and evaluated, are the presence of a blue-green algae bloom, accidental spills that may pollute the water and any safety issue that could affect the health of the bathers.
