Green flag for the beaches
The Division of Environmental Quality (DEQ) analyzes water samples collected from Saipan’s recreational beaches and storm water drainage every Wednesday as part of the regularly scheduled sampling. None of the samples collected contained extensive concentration of fecal indicator bacteria nor did they exceed the CNMI Marine Water Quality Standards. Therefore, DEQ assigns all of the sampled beach sites a GREEN FLAG. Enjoy our waters.
The Division of Environmental Quality analyzed samples of marine recreational and storm drainage water from 8 locations on the west side of Saipan island this week. DEQ welcomes all inquiries as to the quality of the beach water. The public is encouraged to contact DEQ at 664-8500 with any questions concerning this matter.
