State recommends reopening Fogland, Grinnell's beaches in Tiverton

Beaches had been recommended for earlier this week due to high bacteria counts.

Posted

The Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) on Saturday afternoon recommended reopening Fogland and Grinnell’s Beaches in Tiverton to swimming, after bacteria counts have returned to safe levels. The RIDOH recommended the beaches' closure last week.

RIDOH will continue to monitor and review beach water quality regularly to ensure safe bathing throughout the summer. The status of a beach may change as new data become available. The most up-to-date beach information is available through a recorded message on RIDOH's beaches telephone line, 401-222-2751.
