OPR Online Information Seminar Q&A
Should I swim after heavy rain?
Heavy rain can wash pollution into rivers, lakes, and seas and in some instances overwhelm sewage systems. The impacts of these events are generally very short-lived lasting typically 1 - 2 days. Swimming after heavy rainfall is best avoided as it carries an added risk of pollution as well as a likely increase in the amount of sediment and turbidity in the water which would make it visually unappealing.
More information is available here.
Should I swim if the lifeguard red flag flying?
Never swim where a sign says not to or when the red flag is flying. The red flag is flown when there is a water safety risk like the presence of dangerous under-currents. The red flag can also be flown when there is an increased risk of illness if you go into the water or where pollution has been identified.
Should the tenant engage in Anti Social Behaviour (ABS) or cause a nuisance. What action is open to me?
The Council will have the responsibility for dealing with anti-social behaviour.
