Bacteria Monitoring Results are in!
We provide a snapshot of these Water Quality Recreational Recommendations to you based upon EPA RWQC Recreational Water Quality Criteria. Our program lets you know if these popular public river/creek accesses are safe for recreating, or not AND with the hope to bring attention to water quality in our watershed.💧
Although we hope that water quality is safe all the time, that's simply not the case especially during weather events when bacteria may enter streams and rivers through sewage overflows, improper treatment of waste, runoff of animal waste, and other ways. Please note, water quality is always changing, and these results only reflect the Escherichia coli (E.coli) MPN values of the samples we collected on the date and time we collected them. We are measuring E. coli counts using the IDEXX Colilert 18 Method.
Results above are provided in both English and Spanish on our Facebook, Instagram, website, and on the SwimGuide App. To easily access our data---DOWNLOAD THE SWIMGUIDE APP. Enter the locations below on the App and check for our results every Friday!
