CONWAY — Test results at the First Bridge and Davis Park town beaches came back with higher than acceptable readings of bacteria on Monday. The cause of the high readings is believed to be runoff from fields during recent days of heavy rain.

Town Manager John Eastman told selectmen at their weekly meeting Tuesday that high bacteria levels were reported as part of regular state Department of Environmental Services water testing to Conway Parks and Rec Director Mike Lane Tuesday.
