Council call on Limerick swimmers to help test the water

Sea-ShellsLIMERICK City and County Council is asking people who swim at beaches, lakes and rivers to tell them if they think they should maintain existing designated bathing waters designations or give a new official bathing area designation to areas that are commonly used for swimming but not designated at the moment. Local authorities must identify bathing waters each year so that these areas can be monitored to meet stringent water quality standards. If you are a regular swimmer and want to help the Council decide which bathing areas should be designated for 2016, email customerservices@limerick.ie for more details. Closing date for submissions is July 28.
