Amityville Village Beach, Valley Grove Beach and Islip Beach Close to Bathing

 

 

 

Amityville Village Beach in the Town of Babylon, Valley Grove Beach in the Town of Huntington, and Islip Beach in the Town of Islip, are closed to bathing due to the finding of bacteria in excess of acceptable criteria.  

 

According to Suffolk County Commissioner of Health Dr. James Tomarken, bathing in bacteria-contaminated water can result in gastrointestinal illness, as well as infections of the eyes, ears, nose, and throat.

 

Beaches will reopen when further testing reveals that the bacteria have subsided to acceptable levels.

 

For the latest information on affected beaches, call the Bathing Beach HOTLINE at 852-5822 or contact the Department's Office of Ecology at 852-5760 during normal business hours.  http://www.suffolkcountyny.gov/Departments/HealthServices/EnvironmentalQuality/Ecology/BeachMonitoringProgram.aspx
