Answer: •(1) There was no single incident that resulted in a sudden drop in water quality, but the overall seasonal water quality was lower than for the previous two years.

Preliminary analysis suggests it may be the result of changes to localised rainfall this season that have resulted in a general reduction in water quality for the season.
EPA Beach Report issued twice daily water quality forecasts for beaches between 1 November 2015 and 10 April 2016. Forecasts are reported to the community on the Yarra and Bay website and EPA Twitter account, and on weekends via signs at surf lifesaving clubs.
•(2) The Minister for Health is best placed to respond to questions about reported illnesses.
•(3) The Victorian Government will continue to provide twice daily water quality forecasts for beaches on the Yarra and Bay website, social media updates and signage on weekends at surf lifesaving clubs over the summer. To clarify, the water quality indicator used is enterococci, not E. coli.
