Water at all sites is sampled for enterococci and values below 104 bacteria/ 100 ml of sample are designated as swimmable (pass). AACC utilizes the standardized state and federal criteria of of 104 cfu/100 ml for collecting and analyzing water samples. Enumeration of microorganisms associated with poor microbial water quality is performed at the Environmental Center. Water samples are collected weekly, typically on Thursdays. Results are posted as soon as lab results are available. Results will be communicated through the swim guide app and results tables will be put on AACC’s website. A beach is marked Green when single sample results are under 104 enterococci/ 100 ML water. A beach is marked Red when the results are equal to or above 104 enterococci/ 100 ML water. A beach is marked Grey when there are no current results or there is no available information.
