Oakland Beach In Warwick Reopens: Bacteria Levels Normal

WARWICK, RI — The Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) reopened Oakland Beach on Sunday after water test samples showed bacteria to be at safe levels.

On Friday, RIDOH closed Oakland Beach for swimming because of high bacteria counts in the water.
