Ottawa Public Health says two local beaches remain unsafe for swimming, as water exceeds provincial bacterial standards.
"When elevated levels of E. coli are detected in the water, it is more likely that other disease-causing organisms are also present. These organisms can result in skin, ear, throat or gastro-intestinal illnesses," OPH says.
When swimming is not recommended, health officials urge people to avoid going into the water and not swallowing water or take it in your mouth.
