The Division of Environmental Quality has cleared all of Saipan’s east and south recreational beaches this week of contamination after samples collected showed no excessive concentration of fecal indicator bacteria that exceeded the CNMI Marine Water Quality Standards.

“Therefore, DEQ assigns all of the sampled beach sites a green flag. Enjoy our waters,” the agency said.

The division analyzes water samples collected as part of the regularly scheduled sampling. It analyzed samples of seven Saipan east and south recreational beaches. 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. (PR)
