| Abstract/Description or Keywords |
Five samples were collected at seven sites over 30 days in accordance with Provincial Health Guidelines for evaluation of Total, Thermotolerant Coliforms and E.coli bacteria. We have tested the samples of water submitted by you August 07, 17, 22, 28 September 05, and report as follows. In years 2010 and 2011 we tended to see elevated Coliform counts at stations in Slocan and Hills, while in 2012, slightly higher counts were observed near Silverton and again in Hills. No exceptionally high counts for Thermotolerant coliforms or E.coli were observed at any station. It is important to continue recording water temperature when collecting samples because pathogenic bacteria are sensitive to water temperature. |
