Swimming spots pass the bacteria test

The ACT government has reopened parts of the Murrumbidgee, Cotter and Molonglo rivers that were closed to swimming last week due to recent heavy rainfall resulting in poor water quality.

The following locations have now reopened:

  • Pine Island.

    Casuarina Sands

  • Uriarra East and West
  • Swamp Creek
  • Pine Island
  • Kambah Pool
  • Point Hut Crossing
  • Tharwa Bridge
  • Cotter Campground
  • Molonglo River boat ramp

The government says Murrays Corner is still closed for swimming as water-quality testing results have shown elevated bacteria levels. This closure will remain in place until further testing can be completed to show that water quality has returned to safe levels.

Water quality testing is conducted every week.
