Caution - Rainfall affects recreational water quality

 

Swimming areas have been affected from stormwater run-off due to the recent heavy rainfall across the Gold Coast.

Residents and visitors are reminded that rainfall often washes through our streets, gardens and farms, before it is flushed into our ocean and rivers via the storm water system. Stormwater run-off can increase pathogen levels in the water and make it unsafe for swimming. Popular swimming locations, such as swimming enclosures, rivers, lakes, creeks and beaches – particularly those near stormwater outlets – have been affected.

As a precaution always avoid swimming:

  • one (1) day after heavy rainfall at open beaches
  • three (3) days after heavy rainfall at rivers, lakes and estuarine locations
    • in water that looks discoloured, murky, or smells unpleasant
    • near stormwater drains.

The City will continue to monitor sites across the Gold Coast.

UK commuters face cycling or walking to work once lockdown is eased

LONDON (Reuters) - More commuters should consider cycling or walking when Britain's coronavirus lockdown is eased to take the pressure off public transport capacity that is likely to drop by 90% under social distancing requirements, Transport Minister Grant Shapps said on Saturday. He urged people to continue to work from home where possible, but said those who did have to commute to work should consider cycling or walking rather than using their cars
