Area beaches have received an all clear for swimming as we head into a heat wave this week.
Lambton Public Health (LPH) started monitoring beach water quality at seven public beaches along the shore of Lake Huron on Monday, June 17.
Water testing is conducted at Grand Bend, Pinery Provincial Park, Ipperwash Main Beach, C.J. McEwan (Highland Glen), Bright's Grove and Canatara.
Lambton Public Health said at this time, no warning signs are posted.
Following heavy rainfall, the water at area beaches may be temporarily polluted for up to 48 hours.
It's advised that you check the water quality status before you head out to the beach.
