The Halifax Regional Municipality is advising residents that Pleasant Drive Beach and Birch Cove Beach have reopened to swimming.
Pleasant Drive Beach and Birch Cove Beach are supervised beaches. Municipal staff regularly test the water quality at all supervised municipal beaches, as well as two unsupervised beaches, during the summer months.
Previous test results showed high bacteria levels in the water, but follow-up tests now show the water is once again safe, in accordance with Health Canada guidelines.
