Canandaigua Lake.

Officials in Ontario County say that as of Friday, Town of Canandaigua beaches at Butler Road and Onanda Park as well as the beach at Deep Run Park are open.

But the beach at Kershaw Park in Canandaigua was still closed.

That’s after recent heavy rains had caused parts of Canandaigua Lake to have higher bacterial levels at some beaches.

The city of Canandaigua municipal water supply was not affected by the bacteria issues and officials emphasized that water is treated and tested as required by the state and is safe to drink.
