Lake Echo Beach, Penhorn Beach, Birch Cove Beach, Springfield Beach and Shubie Park Beach recreational water quality advisory lifted
The Halifax Regional Municipality is advising residents that the recreational water quality advisory has been lifted at Lake Echo Beach in Lake Echo, Birch Cove, Shubie Park, and Penhorn Beaches in Dartmouth, and Springfield Beach in Sackville.
These are supervised beaches. Municipal staff regularly test the water quality at all supervised municipal beaches during July and August. Previous test results showed high bacteria levels in the water but follow up tests show the water is once again within Health Canada guidelines.
