This test was done on Sunday, February 18, 2024. The previous Thursday night it rained pretty hard, which might have washed residual salt on the streets into the stream.
The season's first snowfalls, which started on January 12, 2024, resulted in the roads being salted. The chloride level increased from 154 ppm on my December 11, 2023 test to 231 ppm today.
