NEW YORK CITY — Everybody back in the water.
A day after warning swimmers to stay out of the water at five public beaches because of high levels of contamination, the city's Health Department lifted the warning at 9:30 a.m. Thursday.
The Department of Health has deemed the water safe to swim in at Coney Island and Manhattan Beach in Brooklyn, and Midland Beach, South Beach, and Cedar Grove in Staten Island.
Sewage overflows and storm runoffs sparked by the recent heavy rains prompted the DOH to issue the advisory due to increased levels of water contamination.
