The Leisure and Cultural Services Department revealed today (May 10) that according to the Beach Water Quality Forecast System of the Environmental Protection Department (www.epd.gov.hk/epd/english/environmentinhk/water/beach_quality/forecast_system.html), the Beach Water Quality Forecast Index for Silver Mine Bay Beach in Islands District is 4, which suggests the anticipated water quality at this beach is “Very Poor” due to possible short-term water quality variations brought on by heavy rain. The warning has actually been raised, and beachgoers are recommended not to go into the water to protect their health.
