(WTNH) — The swim areas at Hammonasset, Silver Sands and Rocky Neck have reopened on Saturday.
The swim areas at both Indian Well and Kettletown remain closed due to the presence of toxic blue-green algae, officials say. The swim areas will remain closed until the condition subsides. If you would like to learn more about the blue-green algae, you can click here.
