Environmental Protection Department

The Environmental Protection Department has rated water quality at four beaches 'good' for this weekend.

 

They are Clear Water Bay Second, Deep Water Bay, Golden and Silverstrand Beaches. There was no change in their grading over last week.

 

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

 

Bathers should avoid swimming at beaches for up to three days after a storm or heavy rainfall.
