a drought emergency plus E. coli in the river: you do the math





North Fork Shenandoah River at Strasburg Park public boat landing in Shenandoah County VA. E. coli levels on Wednesday June 22 versus Thursday June 23, 2022.

source:  FSSP NF Shenandoah River E. coli levels on Wednesday June 22 versus Thursday Jun 23 - FOSR - FOSR  816.4 CFUs per 100 ml !!!--one would expect E. coli levels like this in an open sewer!!!


A drought emergency + an E. coli level of 816.4 CFUs per 100 ml = safe drinking water???

NOT according to my calculations.

It shouldn't take a miracle for the town to provide safe drinking water, and for the town's customers to be confident that its water is safe to drink. 

Just the same, I'm praying that the water that the town sells to us is safe to drink.
