Water Quality Update

Note that since 2011, the MECP (Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks) lab results have regularly exceeded the safe drinking level 1.5 µg/L, but they have NOT exceeded the Ontario safe recreational water level 20 µg/L. Swimming and other water sport activities should be avoided in areas where the blue-green algae bloom is visible.  Past history shows that sample results from separate locations can be very different.
