Cyanobacteria posting at Sheep Pond REMOVED

11/10/2022

 
Picture
The Cyanobacteria "Use Restriction" posted at the town landing at Fisherman's Pond Road and at neighborhood association beaches were REMOVED on November 10. The Brewster Health Department in collaboration with the Brewster Ponds Coalition, lifted the posting following two weeks of monitoring.

The Cyanobacteria algal level dropped to a low risk range per confirmatory test results and field observations. The pond is safe for recreational water activities. This is in accordance with MA Department of Public Health recommended guidelines. 

Our regular pond monitoring for the season has now ended. We appreciate your support.
