\"\"Chatham-Kent Public Health<\/a> began beach water testing last week and public health inspectors will be sampling water for E. Coli from seven local beaches, monthly until September.<\/p>\n

One of seven beaches in Chatham-Kent has tested high for E. Coli bacteria levels, but the rest have tested low and are safe for swimming. Getty’s Beach (by the Wheatley pier) has high levels of E. Coli bacteria, but Clearville Beach, Erieau Public Beach, Howard Township Beach, Mitchell’s Bay Beach, Pier Road Beach, and Bates Beach, all have low levels of bacteria and are safe for swimming.<\/p>\n

Water with high levels of bacteria could increase the risk of skin, eye, ear, nose and throat infections or gastrointestinal illness.<\/p>\n

\"\"New area code for Chatham-Kent and the region added over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Chatham-Kent, Windsor, London, Woodstock, Sarnia, and Stratford, is now served by the “226,” “519,” “548,” and “382” area codes. The “382” area code was introduced on Saturday. It will only be assigned once numbers associated with the existing area codes run out, sometime this month.<\/p>\n

The addition was announced by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) in November.<\/p>\n

Southwestern Ontario got its first area code, “519,” in 1953. The CRTC added “226” in 2006 and “548” in 2016.<\/p>\n
