All Island beaches are safe for swimming.
Ice House Pond, the latest in a series on Vineyard ponds and beaches that had warned bathers of unacceptable bacteria levels, has tested clean.
The West Tisbury board of health had closed Ice House due to high bacteria counts the water in regular weekly samples taken Monday. After further tests, Ice House was reopened on Wednesday.
In Chilmark, the pond at Lucy Vincent Beach also was opened again after further testing on Monday showed bacteria to be well within acceptable levels, after high readings in the two weeks prior.
