Randolph Lake Resumes Public Bathing, Achieving Clear Health Standards

MORRISTOWN, NJ - After temporary closure due to water quality concerns, Randolph Lake has been given the green light to reopen to the public on Thursday, July 27, as confirmed by the Randolph Health Department.

The department, under the guidelines of the NJ Department of Health, conducts regular beach water quality monitoring to ensure public safety. In accordance with the public recreational bathing code, any instance of the water quality not meeting the established standards mandates immediate beach closure until satisfactory levels are met.

The water quality at Randolph Lake had necessitated its closure. The factors contributing to such a measure often include water temperature fluctuations, the presence of animals, wind conditions, and varying levels of precipitation. It is worth noting there is usually a 24-hour delay between sample collection and the revelation of results.

The role of the Randolph Health Department is critical in maintaining the safety of the local community, diligently monitoring beach water quality as part of their ongoing responsibilities. They work in accordance with the public recreational bathing code, an initiative of the NJ Department of Health, to uphold the highest health and safety standards.

Further details about the public recreational bathing code and the Beach Closing/Advisory Policies can be found on the official NJ Beaches website at https://njbeaches.org. The reopening of Randolph Lake marks a welcome return to regular summer activities, offering a safe, clean, and enjoyable environment for local residents to cool off during the warm summer days.
