Town Beach and Baby Beach are routinely tested every Tuesday
from Memorial Day thru Labor Day and results are posted on Wednesdays
A beach will be closed if the bacteria test exceeds either of these limits:
235 E.Coli/100 ml. of water in a single sample, or
a geometric mean of 126 in the last 5 consecutive samples
a significant algae bloom can cause a closure of the beach
Note: A test that appears to be an anomaly will be retested as soon as possible for confirmation.
A beach closure will not be employed based on a single test which appears to be an anomaly.
