Indian Well in Shelton one of 4 state beaches closed by DEEP

Sharing an e-mail from the DEEP sent late Tuesday afternoon:

Four state park beaches are now closed to swimming as a result of elevated bacteria counts detected by water quality testing.

The four beaches – two shoreline and two inland beaches – are:

Sherwood Island, Westport

Silver Sands, Milford

Indian Well, Shelton

Kettletown, Southbury

New test samples were taken at all four locations today and results are expected tomorrow (Wednesday). If tests show bacteria levels have receded, the beaches can be reopened.
