Contact & More Information
Call the health unit at 519.482.3416 or toll free at 1.877.837.6143 for more information.
NOTE: The Health Unit only samples lake water at a number of public beaches along the Lake Huron shoreline. We do not test other bodies of water (rivers, ravines, gullies, dams) that may be used for recreational purposes and therefore have no information on these sites' water quality. Residents should be aware these areas could be unsafe for swimming.
