These are the E. coli concentration results for the water samples that I collected yesterday, July 17.   In a freshwater system, these data represent a snapshot of the water quality on the date, time, and under the conditions that the water sample was collected.

FOSR 2019 Summer Quantitative E. coli Concentration Results through 07.17.2019

The E. coli concentration results for the water samples collected on July 17, 2019 indicated that 3 out of the 15 water samples collected exceeded the Virginia Water Quality Standard threshold level of 235 colony forming units of E. coli per 100 ml of sample for freshwater beaches.  These sites were:

FW36, Manassas Run, a tributary the feeds into the Main-stem Shenandoah River just upstream of the public boat landing at Morgan’s Ford “low water” Bridge on Morgans Ford Road, Warren County

FSMB, North Fork Shenandoah River at Meems Bottom Covered Bridge in Shenandoah County

FCOC, Opequon Creek, off Neill Road at ford the dividing line between Clarke & Frederick Counties
