The Department of Health and Department of Parks and Recreation will enforce the existing policy of prohibiting recreational swimming at local tidal beaches after large rainfalls.
The policy does not include the island beaches, which are not affected by rainfall. Closures of the Island beaches will be announced by the Department of Health when necessary and announced for other locations after large rainfall events.
The Division of Environmental Services will collect and analyze beach water samples weekly throughout the season.
After rainfall events of a half-inch or greater, Byram Beach will close automatically for one beach day. If multiple storms occur, then the beach will close for one full day after the rain has stopped.
Openings, closings and other announcements on beach activity will be released through the Division of Environmental Services Beach Hot Line at 203-622-7855.
All swimming closures will be posted at each beach by the Department of Parks and Recreation.
