NO SWIMMING AT SLAUGHTER BEACH UNTIL DNREC RESAMPLES THE WATER

From the DNREC Beach Monitoring List <dnreclist@state.de.us>3:56 PM (3 hours ago), we have a new report of unsafe bacterial counts in the water at this beautiful replenished beach. Please heed the warning about no swimming until further notification from DNREC and pass this warning along to any beachgoers. Check DNREC's website daily for updates on this problem. DNREC's formal advisory follows:

Type: Recreational Water Advisory
Reason: Bacteria
Location: Slaughter Beach
Start Date: 09/01/2015
End Date: 09/02/2015
Description: Recreational Water Advisory
Comments: This recreational water advisory is a caution regarding swimming at Slaughter Beach due to elevated enterococcus indicator bacteria in a recent sample. Slaughter Beach has a robust shorebird population which can contribute to higher levels of fecal indicator bacteria. Re-sampling will be conducted until we receive water quality results that meet swimming water criteria. For more information go to http://apps.dnrec.state.de.us/RecWater/
