The Health Department, pursuant to 105 CMR 445.000, conducts weekly water testing during the summer season in and around the Plum Island Point Beach.

In the event the water quality is found to be unsafe for swimming, the Health Department in conjunction with the Harbormaster Department, will post signs at public beach entrances and in the parking lot notifying beach goers and will continue to test the water until it is found to be safe.

Please contact the Health Department with any questions or concerns.
