A sample taken from the Kellokoski swimming beach in Tuusula on 26 June 2025 was found to contain intestinal enterococci above the action limit, and swimming was prohibited at the beach. Repeat samples were taken on 1 July 2025. However, the enterococci concentration at the beach remained high, and swimming was still advised against.

A repeat sample taken from the Kellokoski swimming beach on 8 July 2025 did not reveal any levels of enterobacteria exceeding the action limit, and the water quality met the requirements set for bathing water. Swimming is once again permitted at the Kellokoski swimming beach.

The Central Uusimaa Environmental Centre will take bathing water samples from all public beaches in the area, including Kellokoski beach, on 17 July 2025 in accordance with the monitoring calendar. The results will be published on the Central Uusimaa Environmental Centre’s website once they are available.
