Warning signs have been posted for four local beaches because of poor water quality.
The Windsor Essex County Health Unit's beach water testing revealed high levels of E. coli at Cedar Beach, Cedar Island Beach, Holiday Beach, and Lakeshore Lakeview Park West Beach.
All beaches are still open.
Water tests are completed on Wednesdays, with results available every Friday.
Colchester Beach, Seacliff Beach, and Point Pelee North West Beach all had levels of E. coli that were safe for swimming.
This was the last week for the Windsor Essex County Health Unit's beach water testing program.
Residents are encouraged to consider the following safety tips when enjoying the area's beaches beyond this weekend:
-Don’t go swimming if you can’t see your feet underwater when you’re standing in waist-deep water.
-Don’t go swimming if the water is rough, cloudy or green.
-Don’t swim for at least 48 hours after a heavy rainfall or wind.
-Look for drainage pipes at the beach and avoid swimming near them.
