New Hampshire Beaches Safe for Holiday Swim | Concord News

Beaches in Hampton and Seabrook, New Hampshire, are officially open and safe for swimming after water tests showed dangerously low bacteria levels — great news as the holiday weekend approaches. The scare began Friday when two sewage line breaks near Haverhill, Massachusetts, unleashed millions of gallons of wastewater into the Merrimack River following heavy storms. Twelve Massachusetts beaches were forced to close, but New Hampshire’s environmental officials acted fast, testing waters and confirming safety. The Hampton Chamber of Commerce is bracing for crowds, while officials vow to keep monitoring through the holiday and until repairs are complete in Massachusetts.
