Authorities say sewer overflows and flood runoff could have impacted the water quality and will issue more advice throughout the week as testing results come in.

Advice levels have decreased since the weekend, but continue to cover much of the city and down towards the Otways.

The Surf Coast and the Bellarine are largely clear of warnings.
