Nassau Health Dept. officials OK swimming at 19 beaches
The Nassau County Health Department said all beaches operating for the 2018 season were open Monday afternoon after issuing a precautionary swimming advisory Sunday at 19 beaches because bacteria higher than state standards might be in the water due to heavy rainfall.
Officials had warned against swimming at beaches known to be affected by stormwater runoff caused by Saturday’s rain, as it could lead to elevated bacteria levels.
