Why
It’s all about points close to river mouthswhich in recent days have seen a significant influx of water following the heavy rains that have occurred.
Values above the norm
In almost all cases, the analyzes by Arpa technicians – which are carried out regularly throughout the bathing season – have revealed values of Escherichia coli exceeding the limits permitted by law. Furthermore, in almost all cases, the data of the users are also ‘outlawed’ Intestinal enterococci.
What happen
For these stretches of sea, specific ordinances have been issued by the competent mayors which impose non-swimming until the values return below the established thresholds, which usually happens within a short time. Arpa ensures that the sampling will be repeated until the parameters are compliant. In short, the ‘free all’ will soon arrive with the certainty of diving into a perfectly healthy sea.
