Morses Pond officially closed for the season on Sunday, August 18 after a summer of sun, fun, and swimming. Days pond was open for the business of fun: 70. Days closed due to high bacteria count: zero. Wellesley Recreation Deputy Director Brandon Fitts said, “Our water has been the cleanest it’s been this summer. If the bacteria count is 235 or higher we have to close the beach. Our water tests have come back from the lab with a count between 5 to 8 every week this summer except one when it was 84. It’s been a great summer for water quality. We’ve had no problems with algae blooms this year, and haven’t had to treat for them in eight or nine years. Water clarity has been incredible all summer, and the water is beautiful.”
