Notes
This testing was done ten days after the 2020 winter flood of the Pearl River. North, central and south Mississippi were impacted by heavy rainfall that saw many streams topping their banks. Merit Water Park on Rials Creek sustained little to no lasting effects of the record setting flood. Today’s water test showed 33.33 e coli per 100 ml. The lower the number of e coli present, the lower the probability of disease-causing microorganisms. Thus, Merit Falls is considered green/or safe under EPA guidelines for recreational activities such as swimming.
