Bray South Promenade swimmers should be aware that the bathing water may have increased levels of bacteria in the coming days due to the activation of the Bray Sewage Pumping Station Storm Water Outfalls.
To reduce the risk of illness, beach users should take the following precautions:
- Avoid swallowing or splashing water
- Wash your hands before handling food
- Avoid swimming with an open cut or wound
- Avoid swimming if you are pregnant or have a weakened immune system. Higher levels of bacteria are usually short-lived and most bathers are unlikely to experience any illness.
Likely cause: Rainfall causing activation of Bray Sewage Pumping Station stormwater outfalls
Expected duration: 4 Days from Thursday, June 13th 2024
