Notes
Today's test results show another extremely high level of e coli, i.e. 6633 per 100 ml. In comparison, concentration levels below 200 are considered relatively safe for human contact. Some possible sources of fecal contamination include; agricultural runoff, wildlife that use the water as their natural habitat, runoff from areas contaminated with pet manure, wastewater treatment plants, and on-site septic systems. Heavy precipitation may cause these organisms to be washed into creeks, rivers, streams, lakes, or ground water. Minor flooding is forecast for the Strong river and waterpark in next 5 days.
