Ledge Light Health District: No Swimming Advisories For Weekend

Information via Ledge Light Health District

STONINGTON, CT — Ledge Light Health District conducted bathing water sampling on Tuesday, May 31, and Wednesday, June 1, 2022, and all bathing water samples were below the bacterial action levels set by the State of Connecticut EXCEPT Dubois Beach in Stonington.

The area with significant bacteria results was posted with a swimming advisory effective beginning Wednesday June 1st, and was re-sampled on Thursday June 2, 2022. Results from the re-sample were below the bacterial action levels set by the State of Connecticut.

The swimming advisory for Dubois Beach in Stonington is thereby lifted as of June 3, 2022.

Please be aware that rain or other contamination events occurring before the Tuesday morning sampling can lead to elevated bacterial counts, especially in bathing areas with storm water runoff (storm drainpipes or extensive impervious surfaces) or low water turnover (inland bathing areas). We recommend those individuals responsible for the bathing areas take these events into consideration.
