Alberta\u2019s public health authority is advising members of the public not to swim or wade in an area of Chestermere Lake due to elevated levels of fecal bacteria. <\/p>\n
Alberta Health Services (AHS) says elevated levels of fecal bacteria were found through testing the lake water at the Cove Beach location. <\/p>\n
It explains that at current levels, gastrointestinal illnesses like vomiting and diarrhea may result from ingestion of the water at Cove Beach. <\/p>\n
There is also the possibility of skin, ear, and eye infections with water contact. <\/p>\n
The advisory applied only to Cove Beach and doesn\u2019t affect the other beaches on Chestermere Lake, including Anniversary Park, and Sunset Park. <\/p>\n
As always, visitors and residents are reminded to never drink or cook with untreated water directly from any lake or reservoir at any time. <\/p>\n
AHS will continue to monitor the water at Cove Beach. <\/p>\n
The advisory will remain in effect until further notice. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alberta\u2019s public health authority is advising members of the public not to swim or wade in an area…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":56696,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-56695","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56695","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56695"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56695\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/56696"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
