Today’s Update:
- Eugenia Fortes Beach is closed to swimming. Water samples retrieved from this beach and analyzed during the past two consecutive days exceeded the maximum acceptable limit for enterococci bacteria; this beach does not meet the Massachusetts Bathing Beach Regulations, 105 CMR 445.000 and is therefore closed. Closure signage is being posted at this beach this afternoon.
