PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) -- Rhode Island public health officials have reopened two beaches in Warwick two swimmers and closed two others in Middletown following recent water tests.
The Department of Health announced Thursday that Conimicut Point Beach and Oakland Beach in Warwick are now open for swimming.
But they said water quality tests at Peabody's Beach and Third Beach in Middletown showed high levels of bacteria that make swimming unhealthy.
The health department monitors water quality at public beaches during the summer months to ensure it is safe for swimmers.
