Health Dept. reopens 2 beaches, shuts 3 to swimming

The state Department of Health today reopened to swimming the City Park Beach in Warwick and Echo Lake Camps in Burrillville.

Water samples showed bacteria counts within acceptable limits, a health department news release states.

Because of high bacteria levels, the department today closed to swimming the Atlantic Beach in Middletown, Conimicut Point Beach and Oakland Beach, both in Warwick.

For updates about swimming at Rhode Island beaches, go to www.health.ri.gov or for recorded information call (401) 222-2751.
