Willard Beach in South Portland to reopen Thursday

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • June 7, 2023

Willard Beach in South Portland will reopen to the public on Thursday, one week after the city was forced to close the popular beach following a break in the force main that carries wastewater through the neighborhood. The city closed the beach on June 1 and it remained closed until Wednesday afternoon, when water quality tests showed that the beach could be safely reopened to the public.
