WECHU says Seacliff, Mettawas Beach unsafe but isn't closing them

The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit (WECHU) has released its weekly beach results, flagging Seacliff Beach in Leamington and Mettawas Beach in Kingsvilleas unsafe for swimming.

Despite the swimming warnings at these locations, however, the WECHU confirmed that no beaches are closed this week.

Five beaches in the region, including Sandpoint Beach in Windsor and Colchester Beach in the Town of Essex, contain bacterial levels below provincial standards.

It's worth noting that Holiday Beach in Amherstburg has been closed since June 11, 2019 as a result of erosion and was therefore not sampled for E. Coli.
