(JACKSON, Miss.) -- The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), through its Beach Monitoring Program, has lifted a beach closure issued May 18 for the following station:
● Station 12A - Biloxi West Central Beach -- near Rodenburg Avenue. The extent is from Travia Avenue east to Iberville Drive.
The precautionary beach closure was issued due to a sewer line break in Biloxi. Repairs by the city have been completed and samples indicate the water quality is acceptable.
