Orleans Public Bathing Beach Water Quality Report
Beaches are tested weekly for bacterial indicator
organisms during the summer bathing season (June to August). Select beaches
have been granted a variance. This means that due to low bacteria levels
over past years, they have been designated as pristine beaches that are
approved for monthly sampling. In the event of a beach failure, the beach
in question will be re-sampled daily thereafter until results permit re-opening.
The weekly and monthly sample results for this season will be included
in this chart. Green indicates good water quality and red indicates bacteria
levels above the acceptable standard. Blue indicates that a sample was
not taken because the beach was found to have pristine waters that have
been approved for monthly sampling. Clear indicates that a sample was
not taken that day.
