Swimming/water test results

From June to September, the Municipality does weekly water resting at both the Flesherton Pond and Lake Eugenia. Results are received by the Municipality on Thursday and notice/website updates will be done at the earliest convenience.

For more information on Recreational Water Sampling click here, or contact Parks and Recreation for any specific questions about water sampling or beach closures.

Below is the current swimming advisory. Okay to swim means that there is no swimming advisory in effect, while unsafe to swim means no swimming due to high bacteria levels which may pose a risk to your health.

Blue-green algae has been reported in Lake Eugenia by the beach. Do not swim or drink the water where an algae bloom is present or visible. For more information of blue-green algae visit http://ow.ly/s6JY50KopCZ. Blooms can look like foam, scum or mats. Even though they are called blue-green algae they can appear olive-green or red. If you spot blue-green algae contact the Grey Bruce Health Unit.
