Water Quality

Water quality is classified as Excellent. Classification is based on control samples taken regularly between 2019 and 2022. Ten control samples are taken during the bathing season, with results published on the municipality website.

Risks

Cyanobacteria blooms may occur, typically after periods of heavy rain followed by warm weather. Large quantities of macroalgae (seaweed) can accumulate at the water's edge. Occasional contamination from strong winds and heavy rain is possible but typically lasts a maximum of 3 days. Accidental spills from leisure boats, slurry tanks, and sewer pipes are potential risks.
