Today’s Update:
Eugenia Fortes Beach is now re-opened to swimming. Samples taken on July 12th, July 13th, and July 14th exceeded both the single count and the geomean limit, resulting in the need to continue to retrieve and analyze additional samples over the course of multiple days. Finally today, due to very low counts of Enterococci bacteria detected in samples analyzed during the past several days, this beach now shows good water quality and meets the standards set by Massachusetts Bathing Beach Regulations, 105 CMR 445.000.
