The Chatham County Health Department has lifted water quality
advisories for Middle Beach at Center Terrace and Strand Beach at the Pier (Lovell Street to 18th Street), on Tybee Island.
The Glynn County Health Department has lifted water quality advisories for North Beach at Goulds Inlet (Fifteenth Street to Tenth Street) and Driftwood Beach (Beach KM Marker 1 to Tallu Fish Lane) on Jekyll Island.
The advisories were issued on March 10, 2020 after routine water quality tests showed a high level of enterococci bacteria which increase the risk of gastrointestinal illness in swimmers. Subsequent water samples taken showed that the bacteria levels had dropped below Environmental Protection Agency’s recommended limits. Therefore, the advisories have been lifted.
