The Division of Environmental Quality has assigned all of the sampled beach sites on Saipan and Rota a green flag and told the public to “enjoy our waters.”

DEQ analyzes water samples collected from Saipan’s east and south recreational beaches this week as part of the regularly scheduled sampling.

None of the samples collected contained excessive concentration of fecal indicator bacteria nor did they exceed the CNMI Marine Water Quality Standards.

DEQ analyzes samples of 12 Saipan east and south recreational beaches and the same number on Rota. 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. (PR)
