Huron County Health Unit, Beach Testing 2001

Historically some of the sampling sites are more highly affected by rain and wave action. These beaches are shown in blue and are tested every Monday. Beaches that are less affected by rain are tested every 2nd or 3rd Monday. Those beaches with high results are re-tested on Thursday. The results below are shown as a geometric mean of the 5 samples taken on the day indicated. A geometric mean of 100 or less is considered acceptable according to the Province of Ontario standards. Beaches where the geometric mean is greater than 200 for 3 consecutive sampling events are posted with a red sign.

The result number indicates the amount of E.coli bacteria/100 mL of water.
