CK Public Health officials say high levels of bacteria were measured at Erieau Public Beach on August 11, 2025.
“Beach water testing has been updated for the final time this summer,” public health officials said on social media,
“Every summer, CK Public Health collects water samples from public beaches within Chatham-Kent. We test the water for E. Coli bacteria.”
Public health officials added: “Our final round of results for summer 2025 are now available on our website. Remember, these results only reflect that exact moment in time. Beach goers are encouraged to make an informed decision about beach quality in real time before you go swimming. You are the best judge of whether the water is safe.”
