Update: OK to swim at Warwick beaches, too

In Warwick, the state Health Department recommended re-opening City Park Beach, Conimicut Point Beach and Oakland Beach to swimming, after recommending the same for Scarborough State Beach in Narragansett earlier today.

That's based on results from water samples showing bacteria levels within acceptable limits, according to a news release.

Rain and storm water runoff earlier this week increased bacteria levels in the water.

Beach status changes on a daily basis. Check out the Health Department’s beach closures and advisories online or call (401) 222-2751 for recorded information.
