Kinap Beach in Porters Lake is closed to swimming for the second time this month.
The city indicates it’s off limits due to high bacteria levels in the water.
Kinap Beach is a supervised beach (weekdays only).
Municipal staff regularly test the water quality at all supervised municipal beaches, as well as one unsupervised beach, during the summer months.
Recent test results indicate bacteria levels at this beach exceed Health Canada swimming guidelines.
High bacteria levels can be caused by a number of factors, including dogs, birds, wildlife, and high temperatures. Staff will continue testing the water until bacteria levels return to safe levels.
The municipality will advise residents when the beach reopens.
