Government Wharf Closed to Swimming

Friday, July 18, 2014 (Halifax, NS) – The Halifax Regional Municipality is advising residents that Government Wharf in Musquodoboit Harbour is closed to swimming due to high bacteria levels.

Employees regularly test the water quality at its supervised municipal beaches and recent test results indicate that bacteria levels at Government Wharf exceed Health Canada swimming guidelines. The municipality will advise residents when the beach reopens.
