Massachusetts
Water at over 50 Mass. beaches deemed unsafe Saturday
Over 50 Massachusetts beaches had water quality posts active Saturday, which was expected to be a big beach day statewide.
A beach being “posted” means the water quality is unsafe and swimming may cause illness. State authorities monitor the water quality at beaches on the ocean and at lakes.
Here is the full list from a Massachusetts website as of 8:20 a.m. on Saturday:
