Ocean City reopened beaches from Stenton Place to Delancey Place this morning to bathers when test results taken after a sewer leak proved negative. <\/p>\n
Officials had restricted bathing at those beaches starting Sunday night when a grease clog caused a nearby sewer to overflow. Officials were concerned the water possibly entered the storm drain system. <\/p>\n
They alerted the Cape May County Health Department, which was called to test the water as a precaution. Officials closed about 1,300 foot stretch of water to bathing and swimming until the tests were complete. <\/p>\n
\"I just got them (the results) this morning,\" said Kevin Thomas, the county health officer. \"The bacteria is low and the waters are clean.\" <\/p>\n
Now, all seven miles of coastline in Ocean City is open to bathers. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
