Swim Smart Monitoring results for August 19, 2026, our last day of monitoring this season.

This year, we are posting the Swim Smart results in a map format on our website. See the results here: https://whiteriverpartnership.org/is-the-white-river-clean/

Each monitoring site is shown on the map. Just click on a site to see the data for the latest monitoring date. As some have requested, we are also including the spreadsheet format here as well.

3 of 16 sites tested exceeded the EPA bacteria standard of 235 colonies/100mL sample.

As a rule of thumb, avoid swimming or tubing in the White River during and immediately after a rain event because of increased risk of exposure to pollutants that could make you sick.

Thanks again to the volunteers who help us gather the samples this season.
