Too much ** floating in the water by the looks of it.......
EPA Victoria's water quality testing has shown Unacceptable water quality due to elevated bacterial levels at Altona beach. As a result of these levels, EPA advises against swimming at this beach until further notice.

EPA Victoria's Beach Report bacterial water quality forecast is either good or fair for all other monitored beaches.
I'm pretty desperate for a kite, so think I'll risk the bay this evening. I figure ear plugs will be a good investment. Any other pro tips on the best way to stay healthy (keep my mouth shut!).

1.25 litre bottle of Coke and an extra spicy Vindaloo after your session!

^^^^^^ ha ha gold ... that combo will kill almost anything
Its a disgrace. Melbourne Water almost completely silent on the topic now says "sewage would have been greatly diluted" - BUT it all ended up in the Bay, and the EPA had no specific item on their website about it either.
Good on the Clean Ocean Foundation for shining a light on this stinking mess.
Son of a crap! A week and a half since my last session where I was finally able to stay upwind, we finally get some kiteable wind this afternoon and now there is too much poo in the bay! Now that the beach water quality reports are done for the summer, anyone know of anybody doing any testing with this most recent sewage release?
I'm guessing it won't be safe for at least a couple of days. Anyone else hazard a guess?

Kiting is not off completely. There should be places in the bay that are not contaminated so check the EPA site for safe locations.
Looks like this could be continuous throughout winter if we keep getting these downpoors Might have to venture out of the bay more often although not too many coastal areas suit a Northerly...
It's going to be a very wet winter by the looks of it. If EPA aren't doing anymore testing over winter how do I know when it's safe to head out? Tomorrow might be alright, but I'm sure water quality would be pretty **** at the moment...
, but so far i haven't got sick
