Today&#8217;s closure was based on a test conducted earlier this week after a torrential rainstorm. Since it takes 24 hours for results to be processed, a followup test conducted yesterday was not ready until today, so the beaches had to be closed based on the previous day&#8217;s results.<\/p>\n<p>The state&#8217;s limit for bacteria is 104 coliform units per 100 milliliters of water. Today&#8217;s testing in Seaside Heights showed a level of &#8220;less than 10&#8221; per 100 milliliters on some streets and zero on others, according to data released by the state.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_left\"><div class=\"fb-share-button fcbkbttn_large_button \" data-href=\"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/lavallette-seaside\/2018\/08\/seaside-heights-beaches-back-open-following-water-test\/\" data-type=\"button_count\" data-size=\"large\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The closure of Seaside Heights beaches will go down as being a short-term event.
