Beginning Memorial Day weekend, the St. Mary’s County Health Department Water Quality Program will monitor the current water conditions of recreational beaches in St. Mary’s County.
The department will report its current water quality findings regularly during the summer months, and current water conditions will be posted at http://www.smchd.org/recreational-beach-monitoring/
Swimming in natural waters is never risk-free, and you should always use discretion before entering the water.
