North river
A week after the Hudson saw a massive dump of raw sewage, the DEP has declared New York's waterways and beaches safe for swimming again.
The raw sewage released into the Hudson after the North River fire last week means that five city beaches are still down for the count.
Don't even think about cooling off in the Hudson River, the East River south of the Triborough or the Harlem river this weekend—City officials have declared them unfit for recreational activity due to raw sewage.
