A health advisory has been issued for Ben T Davis Beach due to high bacteria levels. This should be considered a potential risk to the bathing public and swimming is not recommended. Samples taken were above threshold for enterococci bacteria. The beach will be re-sampled in a week. 

When re-sampling indicates that the water is within the satisfactory range, the bacteriological health advisory will be lifted.
