All affected beaches have been reopened today April 24 following the successful completion of construction activities at Clover Point Pump Station that required screened wastewater to be discharged out of the short outfall, says the Capital Regional District.
Testing of samples was completed this week and results indicate enterococci levels are below the 70CFU/100mL recreational level.
In consultation with Island Health, public health advisory signs have been removed from all of the affected shorelines which CRD lists as between Radcliffe Lane and Dock Street including Gonzales Bay, Ross Bay, Clover Point, Holland Point and Ogden Point in Victoria and Harling Point, McNeill Bay and McMicking Point in Oak Bay.
CRD thanks the public for their patience while that work was completed.
