This Week LOW E-Coli Levels in Streams

To follow up from last week’s news story, it is common for E.Coli levels to be high immediately after a rain event. When we collect a bacteria sample it is a snapshot of the water quality at that exact moment in time.

A good example of that is reflected in our stream bacteria samples this week which all have low E.Coli results.
