    Special Status

    Special Status

    Unsuitable for swimming.

    This site has a long-term notice in place, as there is a moderate to high risk of illness for swimmers.

    Sites with this special status have a history of poor or highly variable water quality. 

    This status is applied if known risk factors occur, such as:

    • having known discharges (e.g. stormwater, sewage) impacting on water quality, or
    • having consistently poor water quality based on monitoring data collected.

    Reminder

    Heavy rain flushes contaminants from urban and rural land into waterways and we advise you not to swim for 2 – 3 days after heavy or prolonged rain – even at sites that generally have good water quality. Check that the water is clean and clear before taking a dip.
