UPDATE: Douglas Manor Beach Closed

UPDATE: June 27, 3 p.m.: Douglas Manor Beach remains closed for swimming and bathing due to bacteria levels in the water, according to the city's Department of Health.

On Wednesday, the National Resources Defense Council will release its beach water quality report for New York and New Jersey.

Stop by Douglaston Patch to view the council's rating for Douglas Manor Beach and other local swimming spots.

The city's Department of Health has closed Douglas Manor Beach for the day after bacteria levels were found to be exceeding acceptable levels.

Neither Swimming nor bathing are permitted at the beach, according to the DOH.

The city originally shut down the beach on June 5 due to "elevated bacteriological counts and swimming [and] bathing are not permitted," DOH spokeswoman Zoe Tobin said.

The agency closes city beaches if the bacteria count caused by storm water runoff and combined sewer overflow potentially pose a public health risk.

It was unclear when Douglas Manor Beach was scheduled to reopen.
