Summer E. coli Testing Program

WHEN IT’s BROWN, TURN AROUND!

FOSR’s 2021 Summer E. coli Results through 09.02.2021

All but one of the sites tested yesterday had exceedingly high E. coli concentrations.  For many years Virginia had a single sample water-quality standard maximum threshold of 235 E. coli colony forming units (CFUs) per 100 mL of water sample for primary recreational use.   Note: The E. coli result for site FW36, Manassas Run upstream of the confluence with the Shenandoah River at Morgans Ford public boat landing in Warren County Virginia is not being reported because the flooded Shenandoah River water was flowing up into Manassas Run mixing with the waters of Manassas Run.
