West Branch DuPage River
Naperville, Illinois, United States
This bridge on E. Gartner Road allows easy and safe access to the West Branch of the DuPage River. It is near a bike path that runs adjacent to Edgewater Drive. Water is moving, albeit slowly. Salt from the bike path and nearby roads may increase the chloride in the river in the winter.

Collected the sample at night again. It was the warmest day of the week but there was still ice on the river. We found a patch where there was no ice and lowered our bucket into the water. The ppm results were the same from our reading in December.
It snowed on Friday in Naperville with salt trucks seen on Gartner Road. We took the sample on Monday evening when the weather was a bit milder, but there was still some snow on the ground.
