Alabama Water Watch (AWW) volunteer monitors test water quality at many sites, including some recreational areas. AWW trains its volunteers in an EPA-approved protocol. (See www.alabamawaterwatch.org/resources/publications.) All bacteriological data are uploaded to AWW, available to the public at www.alabamawaterwatch.org/water-data.) AWW volunteers collect a sample of water identically cultured in triplicate to reveal E coli colonies. AWW defines “relatively safe for human contact” as less than or equal to 200 E. coli/100 mL water. (Compare to ADEM and EPA levels of less than or equal to 235 E coli/100mL.*) A swim site is marked Green: average of triplicate cultures: zero to 200 E. coli/100mL of water. Red: average of triplicate cultures: greater than 200 E.coli/100mL Grey: reliable information not available. *For more information, see EPA's 2012 Recreational Water Quality Criteria document at www.epa.gov/wqc/2012-recreational-water-quality-criteria-documents.
