As of yesterday afternoon, Wednesday August 11, the half dozen NH DES bright yellow bacteria signs were still in place at the Weirs Beach beach. It's not like the beach doesn't want to lose the signs. No doubt, no one is too happy having them in place, and there is a sign placed at the ten dollar point of sale, on the gazebo, so beach goers know up-front what they are getting into before they pay for admittance.

So far, it's been about fifteen days of bacteria, sign time.

What this story needs is more information about the what, why, where, when and how come, and who knows waht & why!

Last summer, for about one week in July, the 7-acre, stream fed and dammed, 10' deep Corcoran Pond, up in Waterville Valley, was posted with similar NH DES yellow signs, and the Town of Waterville Valley closed the town beach and pond for about one week until a new test showed improved results.

Could be the bacteria at Weirs Beach is some type of naturally occurring bacteria what with the local geese and the recent high heat? What's needed is more information.
