The White River Waterkeeper previously monitored water quality at sites in this region, but now the region is no longer monitored. For historical data, water at all sites were sampled for E. coli and Total coliform. Test results were expressed as Most Probable Number (MPN) of E.coli CFU (colony forming units) per 100 ml. White River Waterkeeper used the 2012 Beach Action Value (BAV) recommended by the EPA (235 E.coli/100 mL), which is based on an estimated illness rate of 36 individuals per 1,000. A beach was marked Green when single sample results were under 235 E.coli / 100 ML water. A beach was marked Red when the results were equal to or above 235 E.coli / 100 ML water. A beach was marked Grey when there were no current results or there was no available information. Disclaimer: The information contained on this website is for informational purposes only. All sites monitored are natural waterbodies and contaminants are present from a wide variety of sources. Local conditions fluctuate, sometimes rapidly, especially after rainfall events. The results displayed above are only representative of the exact time, date and location at which the sample was taken and do not represent the water quality between sampling events or at other locations nearby on the river. Users of this data should not assume that a “low” E. coli level means that it is necessarily safe or risk-free to make contact with the water. E. coli is not the only contaminant of concern for recreational users, and is used merely as an indicator of potential fecal contamination. White River Waterkeeper, their employees, and agents can provide no guarantee of water safety and, as such, the user assumes all risks associated with the use of this data and swimming in the Buffalo River Basin.
