Another Bacteria Advisory Issued in North Hampton

The fourth bacteria advisory of the summer and the second in under a week was issued for North Hampton State Beach late Friday.

The advisory follows another period of rain, just a couple of days after the last advisory was issued on Wednesday.

The beach isn't closed, although officials warn during beach advisories to take extra precautions, including washing hands and bathing, after going into the water.

A sizable grant was recently secured to improve the accuracy and timing of bacteria advisories, among other issues within a system that officials say is "flawed."
