These samples were taken in September 2014 by Dave Dolson and Bob Beccarea. Samples were tested by ALS Laboratories.
'Results' indicate parts per 100mL. Health Canada's guideline for issuing a swimming advisory is over 200 e-coli/100mL.
These 12 samples and their locations were chosen to provide a base-line reading for future testing. Unlike previous years - when the Dept. of Public Health provided analysis for free - we had to pay for testing ourselves. Hence, the smaller number of samples.
