Enumeration of microorganisms associated with poor microbial water quality is performed at the Environmental Center Water samples are collected weekly, on Wednesdays. Some sites are tested bi-weekly. 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 and social media site. 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.
