It’s still not safe to go swimming at the beaches in Merrickville and Almonte.
That’s from the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit’s beach water testing program.
Every week, the organization tests samples from local beaches for e. coli bacteria, which can give swimmers ear, eye and throat infections in high concentrations.
Merrickville and Almonte Beach were listed as unsafe last week alongside four others.

All the rest are now considered safe to swim in.
The Health Unit posts updated testing results every Friday morning during the summer.
