Water Quality

Water quality is classified based on monitoring by the ARS. E. coli and enterococci levels are tracked using 90th and 95th percentile measurements. Quality classifications have evolved over time. Identified pollution sources include wastewater networks, individual treatment systems, storm water discharges, and a water treatment plant overflow.

Risks

Bacterial contamination from E. coli and enterococci. Rainfall, tidal coefficients, and wind direction impact water quality. Wastewater treatment plant overflow discharges. Individual non-connected wastewater systems and faulty wastewater connections present potential pollution sources.
