Milford Beach Closed Due to High Bacteria Levels

The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) has announced the closure of a beach in Milford due to elevated bacteria levels in the water. The closure is a precautionary measure to protect public health, as high bacteria levels can pose risks to swimmers and beachgoers.

Officials have stated that water samples taken from the beach exceeded the acceptable limits for bacteria, leading to the decision to close the area until further testing can confirm that it is safe for public use. The city is working with DEEP to monitor the situation and will provide updates as new test results become available.

Residents and visitors are advised to stay away from the beach until the all-clear is given. In the meantime, DEEP recommends that people check for updates on water quality and beach conditions through their website or local news sources.
