AwwwwwwwYEAAAAHHHHH! It's bacterial testing time, Sylvan Shores!

Listen: It's not even Memorial Day, but thanks to the dedicated team at Arundel Rivers Federation, bacteria testing has begun at the South River and Hardestys Cove (no apostrophe) locations. Both locations were sampled on Thursday and passed testing for the presence of Enterococci bacteria (which can signal the presence of more toxic bacteria that you do not want to swim with, play with, dance with, or generally encounter). So, if you are reading this in the past: dive in!

With the rain today and this weekend, we expect runoff to increase this amount of bacteria as it collects all sorts of detritus from the ground. As a general rule, you should not swim 48 hours after any significant rain, which is today, tomorrow, probably Sunday? It's kinda chilly anyway, innit? So, please stay safe if you are throwing caution to the wind and swimming/paddling/boating this Memorial Day weekend without a care for the unusually cool and rainy weather. Maybe just stay in the boat. On land. Inside?

Stay safe, Sylvan Shores! We'll see you next weekend...

🚤 Boat Ramp Temporary Closure

The Central Park boat ramp will be undergoing maintenance for a few days starting tomorrow, Tuesday May 19.

The ramp may be used when crews are not actively working, and the project is expected to be completed by the weekend.

We’ll keep everyone posted if anything shifts.

Lost Item - Pendant

We don't typically post lost & found items, but a young resident lost a small pendant that’s very special to him. He even made his own flyer. 🥹

It’s a brown ceramic jar with a silver band and a cork top, about 1–2 inches tall. It came off a necklace.

He thinks it may be at the playground, but it could also be near the basketball court or along Remital, Orchard, or Poplar.

If you spot it while you’re out and about, he would be very grateful!
