Six Vancouver-area beaches closed for swimming due to E. coli
Health officials have issued no-swim advisories for six Vancouver-area beaches due to high levels of E. coli in the water. Vancouver Coastal Health warned beachgoers and swimmers to stay away from the waters of English Bay, Kitsilano, Second, Sunset, and Third beaches in Vancouver as well as Dundarave Beach in West Vancouver due to unacceptably high E. coli levels. The warnings for Second, Kits and English Bay beaches were issued Thursday, a day after the advisories for Third, Sunset, and Dundarave beaches. The health authority collects water samples from beaches in the region weekly from May to September and tests them for bacteria. It issues not-suitable-for-swimming advisories if bacteria levels exceed 400 E. coli per 100 millilitres. Signs have been posted at the beach, although the beach itself and facilities are safe to use. E. coli is bacteria found in human and animal feces. High numbers in the water indicate fecal contamination. Lions Bay Beach further up the Sea to Sky Highway and Trout Lake Beach in John Hendry Park have been under advisories since last week. Vancouver Coastal is keeping a close eye on several other beaches where E. coli levels were higher than expected. These beaches include Jericho Beach and Wreck Beach in Vancouver, Ambleside, Eagle Harbour, and Sandy Cove beaches in West Vancouver, and Sandy Beach on Bowen Island. chchan@ Related Non-alcoholic beers bring higher risk of E. coli and salmonella: Study More Metro Vancouver beaches closed because of E. coli
