Testing the water in beaches results

July 29, 2009 Penn Environment released the results of the annual Testing the Waters survey today in Center City.

Beach closings and advisories along the Jersey shore increased by 48-percent last year.

Most of those were due to medical waste, storm water and runoff pollution.

Closings held relatively steady in Delaware.
