MONITORING FREQUENCY

SOURCE INFORMATION

Suffolk County Health Services tests the water quality at Tier III beaches from a June 15th until Labor Day. Tier III beaches are tested once a month. Swim Guide checks the Suffolk County beach monitoring site daily for updates. Tier III beaches may eventually be eliminated from the beach monitoring program depending on historical water quality sampling results. Water is re-sampled after a result exceeds standards or after a pollution event, such as a sewage spill.

A marine beach is marked Green when there are equal to or less than 104 units of Enterococci per 100 ml of water and when the geometric mean of 5 samples contain 35 units / 100ml of water or less.

A freshwater beach is marked Green when single sample results are 235 units of E.coli per 100 ml of water or less and when the geometric mean of 5 samples contain less than 126 units / 100ml of water or less.

A marine beach is marked Red when a single sample exceeds 104 units of Enterococci per 100 ml of water or when the geometric mean of 5 samples contain more than 35 units / 100ml of water.
