Water Quality

Classification 2019: Excellent quality (based on data from 2016–2019). One recorded exceedance in 2016 with bathing warning posted. Two bathing advisories were issued in 2018; resampling three days later showed water quality had returned to normal. Sources of contamination are unknown. Twenty bathing water analyses are conducted annually. Risk of cyanobacteria, phytoplankton, and macroalgae growth is low.

Risks

Two registered discharges with unknown water quality located approximately 600 meters east and 1 kilometer west of the bathing site. Bathing is advised against if water clarity is poor and feet cannot be seen at knee depth. Swimmers should rinse with clean water if clarity is poor. Children should not play or bathe near washed-up algae due to potential toxins and bacterial survival. Glass fragments, litter, and chemical pollution including oil spills can occasionally occur.
