Salaspils Municipality Advises Against Swimming in Daugava for Now

The Salaspils local government has advised residents and visitors to refrain from swimming in the Daugava near Salaspils for the time being. The warning is linked to the proliferation of blue-green algae in the river at that location.

The recommendation was reported by LETA, which cited the municipality’s statement. The local authority has pointed to the current condition of the Daugava in the Salaspils area as the reason for the advisory. The warning applies specifically to this stretch of the river, and people are being asked not to enter the water there until the situation changes.

The municipality has not announced a specific deadline for lifting the advisory. Residents and visitors are encouraged to follow official updates. For now, the advice is to choose other places for swimming. The information was distributed through LETA on behalf of the Salaspils local government. No further details about the duration of the recommendation have been provided so far.
