Puffer’s Pond will remain closed to swimming until further notice due to high levels of E. coli bacteria. There are many factors that could be contributing to this ongoing issue and the town is looking into causes and exploring long-term solutions. The town conducts water quality testing weekly with results posted on Wednesdays at www.amherstma.gov/puffers. The most recent results were posted on Wednesday, July 24 and new results will be posted on Wednesday, July 31.
Please note: Water samples are collected and tested from both North Beach and South Beach. Even when one of the beaches test within the normal range, the town closes the entire pond to swimming out of an abundance of caution.
Questions? Please contact the Town Manager’s Office at 413-259-3002.
