Water 'good' at 6 beaches
*
Environmental Protection Department

Water quality at six beaches has been rated 'good' by the Environmental Protection Department for this weekend.

 

They are Clear Water Bay Second, Deep Water Bay, Big Wave Bay, Middle Bay, Repulse Bay and Stanley Main Beaches.

 

Meanwhile, water quality at Golden and Silverstrand Beaches was rated 'fair'. All rated beaches have shark nets.

 

There was no change in the grading for these beaches compared with last week.

 

Seven gazetted beaches - Anglers', Approach, Ting Kau, Casam, Gemini, Hoi Mei Wan and Lido - are closed to swimmers year round because of poor water quality.

 

For updates on beach water quality, see the department's website, or call the beach hotline, 2511 6666.
