« Flooding closes lanes on Route 95 in Pawtucket | Today | Secretary of State's site tracking candidate filings » June 24, 2008Two more beaches closed due to bacteriaNot that you were planning a trip to the beach today, but the state has recommended closing three beaches today because of high levels of bacteria. Today, the state’s Department of Health recommended closing the Atlantic Beach Club Beach in Middletown; Conimicut Point Beach in Warwick; and Oakland Beach, also in Warwick. And two beaches that were closed in the past two weeks because of high bacteria levels –– Camp Grosvenor in North Kingstown and Gorton Pond Beach in Warwick –– are still closed. Check the Health Department’s Web site or call 222-2751 to find out when these beaches re-open and what beaches are closed around the state.

Or were we just too stupid to know that it wasn't? Debbi | June 24, 2008 3:35 PM link If we refuse to stop dumping raw sewage into the bay, maybe it's time to re-think the 'Ocean State' motto. It amazes me that with nothing much left of the economy but tourism and gambling, we are willing to dump on the tourism. Tom | June 24, 2008 4:43 PM link Post a commentPlease be civil.

I would never be willing to swim in either Conimicut or Oakland Beach.
