Swimming resumed at Calf Pasture Beach Friday after high levels of bacteria kept bathers out of the water for three days. An official from the Recreation and Parks Department said "all Norwalk beaches are open today."
Lifeguards went on duty at 10 a.m. Friday at Calf Pasture but only a handful of people were at the beach at the time.
A complaint was filed early in the week, according to Connie Blair, customer service manager at the Public Works Department. The water was off limits to swimmers Monday through Thursday due to bacteria levels found during testing by the Health Department.
John Pietrantuono was at the beach on Monday and said, "It smelled awful, like sewage." Officials believed the bacteria levels may have been caused by the rainfall last weekend or possibly the large amount of geese excrement at the beaches.
