Water Quality Test Results
June, July & August 2005

Call 654.0728 for the latest Bayside Beach conditions.

     Water test samples are gathered every Monday and Wednesday mornings and tested for the presence of E.Coli overnight by Endyne Testing of Williston, VT. Those results are returned to the Town Offices the following afternoon.

Water samples with E. Coli levels higher than 77 CFU/100mL indicate water that is unsafe to swim in. High E.Coli can cause Swimmer's Itch and intestinal discomfort. Individual site readings above 77 CFU/100 ml indicated in RED. When two or more Bayside Beach readings are above 77 CFU/100 ml, the beach will be closed and retested until the readings are acceptable.

      If you have any questions or comments, please call Stef the Water Quality Guy , at 654-0728 or email at sparker@town.colchester.vt.us
