Holiday Beach in Amherstburg is still closed because of erosion.
The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit said the beach is unsafe and users can get injured.
Two beaches have warnings posted because of high levels of E. coli bacteria. The health unit said swimming is not recommended at Seacliff Beach in Leamington and Mettawas Beach in Kingsville. Holiday Beach was not sampled for E. coli again this week.
Warnings are posted when the water samples have E. coli levels that are greater than 200 per 100 millilitres of water and are shut down when the E. coli count is 1,000 per 100 millilitres of water or higher.
Mettawas Beach has an E. coli reading of 918 and Seacliff Beach is listed at 682.
People can get sick from water with high levels of E. coli. The most common illnesses are stomach and intestinal illnesses such as vomiting and diarrhea, along with lung, eye, ear, nose, or throat infections or skin issues. Swallowing contaminated water is the main way people may get sick.
Health officials have started conducting beach water quality monitoring at all nine public beaches at least once a week. The testing runs from June to September to make sure the E. coli counts in the water are below provincial standards. Beach sampling will take place every Monday and if the beach is closed due to high E. coli levels, it will be resampled on Thursday of the same week. Beach water quality results are released every Wednesday during the summer.
The health unit does not recommend swimming after a heavy rainfall even if the beach is open for swimming.
