RI Dept. of Health Recommends Closure of 4 Beaches Due to Bacteria Counts
Friday, June 29, 2018
The Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) is recommending that four beaches across the state close due to high bacteria counts.
The four beaches include Oakland Beach in Warwick, Ninigret Pond in Charlestown, Camp Watmough’s Beach in Glocester and Briar Point Beach in Coventry.
“When a beach closure is recommended, water quality analysis is conducted by RIDOH's laboratory or a state-certified laboratory. The status of a beach may change daily,” said RIDOH in their press release.
RIDOH adds that “officials will continue to monitor the water quality and recommend re-opening when the areas are safe.”
