All beaches in Huron County are currently unsafe for swimming, according to the latest testing from Huron Perth Public Health (HPPH) Inspection team.
After taking water samples on Wednesday, the HPPH team said all of the 13 beaches tested showed higher than acceptable bacteria levels.
As a result, swimming not recommended notices have been posted at Amberley, Ashfield, Port Albert, Sunset, Goderich Main, St. Christopher's, Rotary Cove, Blacks Point, Pavilion Road, Hay, Port Blake, Bayfield Pier, and Howard Street beaches.
The Health Unit says those who swim risk being exposed to bacteria that may cause diarrhea or infections of ears, nose, throat, eyes, and skin.
Water samples will be retaken at all beaches Friday, with retesting results shared on Saturday
