Understanding your
water test results
Understanding your water testing results is crucial for evaluating the health of our waterways. Our monitoring program documents key indicators such as water quality, quantity, and flow timing, measuring parameters like sediment, turbidity, and coliforms to assess changes over time. Results from our tests help identify potential issues and maintain a fully functional ecosystem by revealing how natural and human activities affect water health.
​
To help you interpret these results, we provide detailed explanations of technical terms and benchmarks. This includes understanding discharge rates, sediment loads, turbidity levels, and coliform counts, with comparisons to safety guidelines.
