Beach water samples were analyzed for water quality on July 14. The Barnstable County Laboratory notified the Wareham Board of Health that East Boulevard Beach has tested beyond the allowable tolerances for coliform bacteria levels.

Swimming at East Boulevard Beach could pose potentially serious health problems to certain segments of the general population, i.e. the very young, very old, or immune compromised.

All other beach water samples meet the bacterial standards and are acceptable for the operation of bathing water. All other beaches are open and safe to swim.
