TWO WESTCHESTER COUNTY BEACHES CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE 

(Editor's note---for those who have asked how often the village tests our swimming areas, please direct these questions to village staff and/or officials.)

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NY — The bacteriological results of Tuesday and Thursday's beach water samples have closed some of the most popular beaches in the Hudson Valley.

Certain Sound Shore beaches in New Rochelle and Mamaroneck have been closed immediately until further notice, due to bacteriological testing on two different days this week, according to the Westchester County Department of Health.

The county's Beach Surveillance Program is designed to protect the public from illnesses associated with swimming in waters that are contaminated.  MORE AT 2 Westchester Beaches Ordered Closed Until Further Notice | New Rochelle, NY Patch
