No rain in a week prior to sample
Took Bacteriological samples up stream and downstream after last months readings were high. Up stream was 100-ecoli and 100 general. Downstream was 0-ecoli and 400 general.
E-coli and General both were very high after Decembers numbers were more normal.
I have had high total colonies and high e-coli over the last two months. This month I took a upstream and a downstream sample. Mobile Bay keepers also took samples. my samples showed no e-coli in the normal sample and only 1 colony in the ustream sample. the results were upstream 100 e coli and 800 general. the downstream showed 0 e coli an 500 general. I have not heard back from Mobile Bay keepers with their numbers.
This is second month in a row that total number of colonies are high and e_coli is very high.
My incubated samples looked very different from my normal samples. there were significantly more colonies and there were little blisters in the media. The e-coli is higher than I have ever seen
