Advisory Issued for Nine Area Beaches
With heavy rainfall Tuesday and additional rain forecasted for Wednesday, nine area beaches have been issued an advisory against bathing.
With heavy rainfall Tuesday and more forecasted for Wednesday, the Suffolk County Department of Health Services has issued an advisory against bathing at 52 Suffolk County beaches Wednesday due to a potential that bacterial numbers exceed New York State standards.
The impacted beaches are those heavily influenced by stormwater runoff from the surrounding watersheds and adjacent tributaries. These beaches also experience limited tidal flushing. Please note that this advisory only affects beaches that are currently open for the season.
The advisory will be in effect until at least 7 p.m. Thursday, unless sampling done by the Department finds elevated bacterial numbers after the 24-hour period.
