Beach Water Testing

Please note that the beach water testing program has ended for the 2026 season and will resume in the spring of 2027.

Continue to enjoy using our beaches with these safety tips.


Notes

Routine beach water sampling results will take precedence over predictive modeling results and will determine beach closures. If bacterial count warrants closing the beach, modeling results will be displayed as "Beach Closed".

Note: The bacterial counts for routine beach sampling and the predicted results listed reflect the conditions at the time of sampling. Water quality can change from day to day depending on the weather conditions and lake levels. Although the beach might be open, we recommend not swimming if there was a recent heavy rainfall (at least 48 hours), if the water is cloudy, or if you are unable to see your feet when in the water.

For more information, call us at 519-258-2146 ext. 4475 between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday to speak with a Public Health Inspector.
