KFL&A Public Health Monitoring Water Quality at Public Beaches

KFL&A Public Health monitors the water quality at municipally owned and operated public bathing beaches within our area. Monitoring occurs for 12 weeks, between early June and Labour Day and involves testing the water for bacteria as well as conducting a visual inspection of the beach.

Beach testing and monitoring is conducted in accordance with the Ontario Public Health Standards. 

KFL&A public beaches are sampled weekly. Public beaches in Central and North Frontenac are sampled monthly due to their history of good water quality. If sample results come back adverse, the public beach is sampled daily until results consistently meet the public health standards to ensure that the water quality has improved.

Signs warning against swimming are posted when beach conditions pose a potential health risk to bathers. Most often the posting of a beach is due to high levels of bacteria in the water.
