Mansion Beach May Close Due to E.Coli, And You Probably Shouldn't Swim In It

For now, be prudent and think before you swim.

WAYLAND, MA—A sample taken on Monday at Mansion Beach in Wayland exceeded the state limits allowable.

Under old rules, Mansion Beach would have been closed immediately, said Wayland Surface Water Quality Committee. New rules require a confirming sample before the Health Department closes a beach.

It may be prudent to avoid swimming at Mansion Beach until results of the confirming sample are known - which may not be until Monday of next week, said the committee.
