Nassau Beaches Closed Saturday For Water Testing

NEW YORK (CBS) ― The Nassau County Department of Health closed 22 beaches because of heavy rain.

Health officials planned to test the water for possible runoff contamination Saturday. Storm water runoff can elevate bacteria levels in the water.

All North Shore beaches are affected, which includes Bar Beach Roosevelt Beach, Centre Island Bay Sea Cliff Village Beach, Centre Island Sound Soundside Beach, Creek Club Stehli Beach, Crescent Beach Tappen Beach, Lattingtown Beach West Harbor Beach, Laurel Hollow Beach, Morgan Sound, Piping Rock Beach Club, Pyrbil Beach and Ransom Beach.

On the South Shore, the following beaches were closed: Biltmore Beach Club Beach, Hewlett Point Beach, Island Park Beach, Merrick Estates Civic Association Beach, and Phillip Healey Beach.
