The City Council of Granadilla de Abona, in Tenerife, has proceeded this Thursday to prohibit bathing in the central area of El Médano beach, provisionally, after detecting a pollution index higher than allowed, which is 200ufc / 100ufc ml ., from the E.coli bacteria, something that has already happened last year almost around the same dates.
The detection of this contamination occurs after the submission of the results of the routine analyzes carried out by the Canary Islands Sanitary Inspection Service. However, the company awarded the water analysis service in the bathing areas, by the City Council, has also proceeded to take samples first thing in the morning, reports the Tenerife City Council in a statement.
In this way, it has been decided to close this bathing area as a precaution and in order to guarantee adequate safety levels for the population, pending the results of the pertinent analyzes that are being carried out, the note concludes.
