You can visit any one of West Vancouver's beautiful beaches this sunny weekend, but don't go in the water as E.coli counts remain at unsafe levels for human contact.
That's the latest message from Vancouver Coastal Health, which reviewed the latest batch of water samples taken from Ambleside, Dundarave, Eagle Harbour and Sandy Cove on Thursday afternoon.
Coliform counts have all gone up since VCH issued a warning on Aug. 1. Meto Vancouver has investigated and found "no anomalies" at the Lions Gate Wastewater Treatment Plant that would explain the high counts.
The suspected cause is fecal matter being washed into the water with the previous week's rain.
Going in the water runs the risk of contracting gastrointestinal illness.
Water quality testing is ongoing.
UPDATE: As of Friday Morning, Whytecliff Park was added to the list of beaches with e.coli counts above 200 per 100 millilitres, the amount conisdered safe for humans.
