Aug. 10: Etowah River Bacteria Monitoring Data comes back safe

The Etowah River Bacteria Graph for Aug. 10: the geometric mean of our three testing sites was 38.6 cfu/100ml, well below the U.S. EPA safe limit of 126 cfu/100ml.

 

The following are the results from the three sites:

 

 

8/10/2011 Water Temp 23.5 C

Second Ave.

48.0 cfu/100ml

Rome Bypass

24.6 cfu/100ml

US 411

48.9 cfu/100ml

Geometric Mean:

38.6 cfu/100ml

 

Since CRBI began this testing program in March, the geometric mean of the three testing sites has been within "safe limits" in 17 of 20 monitoring
events. Source:
