Water enthusiasts will have to find somewhere else to swim, boat and fish following the temporary closure of Pykes Creek Reservoir.<\/p>\n

High levels of bacteria have been detected in the popular reservoir, which was temporarily shut down on Tuesday (April 10).<\/p>\n

Southern Rural Water, which manages the reservoir,\u00a0confirmed that E.coli was detecting during weekly testing.<\/p>\n

E.coli is a type of bacteria that usually lives in the intestines of people and can cause pneumonia, vomiting, diarrhea and fever.<\/p>\n

\u201cSouthern Rural Water\u2019s priority is the safety of users and ongoing and increased testing will ensure the reservoir is re-opened when it is safe,\u201d a spokesperson told The Moorabool News.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cause is unknown at this stage but more extensive testing is being carried out to provide information regarding the potential source\u201d.<\/p>\n

Since the closure, Western Water has released a statement assuring the Myrniong community that their drinking water is safe.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe treatment process at Myrniong Water Filtration Plant includes a multi-barrier approach which ensures drinking water safety and quality for local residents,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdditionally, testing prior to and after treatment is undertaken on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

\u201cSouthern Rural Water advised it was temporarily closing Pykes Creek Reservoir to recreational users today due to water quality concerns on the ramp side of the reservoir\u201d.<\/p>\n

It is not the first time Southern Rural Water has temporarily closed the reservoir this year, with elevated levels of E.coli detected in February too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
