Wrentham's Sweatt Beach Reopened

Sweatt Beach has been reopened, according to Wrentham Recreation Director Jeff Plympton. The lake, which had been closed because of a high bacteria count open its doors once again after multiple tests came back with low counts.

The trouble started on July 2 when a high count forced the beach to close. The beach opened up a few days later after tests came back with low counts.

The beach closed again on June 9 because the last five tests did not create an average under the maximum bacteria count allowed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Aside from one test that thew off the average, the tests have shown that the water is safe for public use according to Plympton.

There have been no reports of illness from anyone who has recently been in Lake Pearl.

The beach will now be open everyday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
