Aug. 17 Etowah River Bacteria Monitoring Data shows more 'safe' readings

 
Media release: The Etowah River Bacteria Graph for Aug. 17 shows the geometric mean for our three testing sites was 42.4 cfu/100ml, below the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency "safe" level of 126 cfu/100ml.

 

The following are the results from our three testing sites:

 

 

8/17/2011 Water Temp. 23.5 C

Second Ave.

51.2 cfu/100ml

Rome Bypass

25.9 cfu/100ml

US  411

57.3 cfu/100ml

Geometric Mean:

42.4 cfu/100ml

 

Since CRBI began this testing program in March, the geometric mean of the three testing sites has been within "safe limits" in 18 of 21 monitoring events. www.coosa.org
