We have received updated water quality test results for the bathing ponds, from the Heath Superintendent. These indicate that water quality has improved significantly since the flooding and suspected sewer overflow incidents on 12 July 2021. The Ladies’ Pond re-opens on 20 July 2021 and its test results are shown below:
Test results from the Ladies’ Pond for 2020 are attached here, for comparison. Last year the Ladies’ Pond was closed due to sewage contamination incidents 17-25 September 2020 and 4-11 October 2020.
