The laboratory results are in for August 11, 2009
All of Goose Rocks Beach and Colony Beach test site results are within acceptable levels. Both beaches and the mouths of the Little, Batsons and Smith Rivers are open for water contact.
The town of Kennebunkport participates in the Healthy Maine Beaches Program, which is a cooperative partnership to test the water quality of Maine beaches. Volunteers take tests once each week. If tests identify elevated bacteria levels, the public is notified to avoid water contact.

Mouth of the Little River

Sites 1 & 2 were not tested due to a thunder storm
A decision not to test on 8/12/2009 was made because the counts were so low on 8/11/2009
The next scheduled testing date is August 18, 2009.
