At the request of Panevėžys City Municipality, the water quality of the city’s swimming pools, paddling pool, and other bathing areas is regularly tested during the summer season. Microbiological water tests are carried out every two weeks, and sand samples – once a month. If non-conformities are found, residents are informed, and the water is re-tested.
According to the latest laboratory tests, it is safe to swim in all official bathing areas of Panevėžys city – at the swimming area near the Nevėžis river dam, Piniava recreation area near the Lėvuo river, as well as bathing areas in Dembava at Veteranų str. 13 and 15, Pajuostės ave. 27B.
No waste, debris, or other floating materials were observed on the beach near the Nevėžis river dam and in the Piniava recreation area near the Lėvuo river; the water is clear, so swimming is permitted.
Panevėžys City Municipality invites residents and city guests to choose supervised swimming pools and bathing areas for recreation. When relaxing by the water, it is important to follow safety rules, not leave children unattended, not litter, and heed the information provided on site.
