E-coli Scare
 

Has anyone heard about an ecoli scare in the lake? My daughter was at Ellacoya yesterday and her group wasn't allowed to swim because of it.

Baeach closings in NH
 

Check out SBONH.org. They have a listing of beach closings.

ELLACOYA SP GILFORD FRESHWATER SAMPLES COLLECTED 8/19/14 EXCEEDED THE STATE STANDARD FOR FECAL BACTERIA. THE ADVISORY REMAINS UNTIL BACTERIA COUNTS ARE BELOW THE STATE STANDARD. RESAMPLING 8/22/14, NEW RESULTS 8/23/2014. 08/19/2014 Fecal Bacteria

hmmmm fecal bacteria

I wonder where from........(insert photo of Canadian Goose here)

Here's a scary thought...
 

What if the State tested Braun Bay, West Alton, and a few other shallow sand bar areas? One has to wonder how that would turn out, especially if tested on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon.

It wouldn't turn out good... Any place where crowds of "people" swim, bacteria will be present. The geese are innocent in this case!

Volunteers
 

You can volunteer to send in water samples. Just give them a call!

I think I'll pass...
 

I don't do Braun Bay. And I do West Alton as little as possible. Once in a great while during the week, first thing in the morning to wipe down the outside of the boat.

I don't think you'd see much e-coli in those places unless people are now doing number 2 also.
