Notes

The results of this sampling indicated a significant increase in Other Coliforms. It’s also the first instance of E Coli showing up during a sampling of this site. The water seemed higher than normal, was choppy, and full of debris. Dredging is being done nearby and may be a factor in these readings. However since this location is just beginning to be sampled, it’s difficult to know what is normal for this time of year.
