Ocean City Beaches Reopen

The 8th, 9th and 10th street beaches reopened at 1 p.m.

The 8th and 9th street beaches reopened Tuesday after being closed to swimmers in Ocean City, Cape May County, New Jersey, because of a sewage leak.

10th Street beach was also closed to swimmers as a precaution because of a potentially dangerous tide.

All three beaches reopened at 1 p.m. when water tests performed by the county health department came back normal.

The yuck got into the storm drain system because of a grease blockage in the sewer line causing the beaches to shut down on Monday, according to WMGM-TV.
