What a bummer: Foster City monitoring three beaches ranked among worst

Foster City, which had three of its beaches end up on a list of the state’s worst in an annual report released by the non-profit organization Heal the Bay, says that it has been working with a consulting firm since earlier this year to monitor the water quality in the area and determine if further action is needed.

San Mateo County beaches have consistently made the organization’s “Beach Bummer” list, which ranks the 10 worst beaches graded on water quality events like sewage spills and rainfall, as well as bacteria pollution cultures.
