Wallingford Beach on the Thames is rated 'poor' for water quality for the second year due to bacteria spikes after rain, with health advisories issued.
Wallingford Beach on the River Thames has been rated 'poor' for water quality for the second year in a row, according to the Environment Agency, due to bacteria levels exceeding safety limits in at least one of 20 samples tested.
The low rating, linked to occasional spikes after heavy rain, does not mean swimming is unsafe but indicates risks, especially for vulnerable individuals.
Authorities, including Thames Water and South Oxfordshire District Council, are investigating sources while a real-time noticeboard informs the public.
Experts advise avoiding the water for 48 hours after rain, covering wounds, washing hands, and being cautious of currents and cold temperatures.
The monitoring helps promote long-term river health improvements.
