The swimming ponds at Millennium Park in Castlegar have reopened.
They closed yesterday after higher-than-normal bacteria levels were detected in ponds No. 2 and 3.
Civic works director Lucas Pitts says it was due to goose poop, but they’ve taken steps to fix that.
Pitt adds geese have not been a problem this year until the last couple of weeks.
Water at the ponds is regularly tested for the presence of bacteria from June to September.
Pond No. 3 has filled to capacity but pond No. 2 won’t be full until about noon Saturday. You’re advised to use caution while swimming in pond No 2.
