March Water Quality Report | 2019
March 27, 2019
Earlier this month we collected our regular water quality samples from local rivers and streams. Two sites, Smith Branch and 12 Mile Creek, had results above the state standard for contact recreation of 349/100 mL. Both of these urban streams have had multiple exceedences over the last four years of sampling. These exceedences do not appear to be associated with any rainfall event. The next round of sampling is scheduled for May.
