CRAHD performs weekly bathing water sampling of
all Public Beaches from around Memorial Day through
Labor Day. Bathing water quality is measured by the
presence of enterococcal organisms. These organisms may
indicate the presence of potentially harmful bacteria.
CT issues guidelines for bathing water quality standards
that are considered unsatisfactory for bathing
Saltwater: >104 colonies per 100 ml of saltwater
Freshwater: >235 colonies per 100 ml of freshwater
