According to a notice from the Town of Huntsville, the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit has notified the town government about an advisory at the beach after samples were collected on Tuesday.
The beach will be posted with warning signs that state the most recent water samples showed bacteria in numbers that may increase your risk of developing minor skin, eye, ear, nose or throat infections or stomach illness.
