Unsafe levels of fecal bacteria have prompted widespread beach advisories and closures across U.S. coasts and Great Lakes, risking swimmer illness.
"Even as Massachusetts residents are back to enjoying the fresh sea breeze and splash of waves at the beach, pollution is still plaguing too many of the places where we swim. Now is the time to fix our water infrastructure and stop the flow of nasty bacteria and pollution to our beaches," said John Rumpler, clean water director for Environment Massachusetts.
