Hacks Point Week 6 Beach Bacteria Test

Here are week 7's results for Hacks Point:

Hacks Point, 7/2/2025: 84 cfu, PASS YEA!!!!

Enjoy the Water - Be Safe

"As a reminder, the units for bacteria samples are colony-forming units (cfu), and ShoreRivers utilizes the standardized EPA criteria of 104 cfu/100ml for collecting and analyzing bacteria samples.

Anything higher than 104 cfu is a failing sample, and anything below 104 cfu is a passing sample."

"Please note that there are inherent risks associated with open water swimming and recreational contact including, but not limited to, bacterial infections. Bacteria levels can change, particularly as a result of significant rain events. Always rinse off after swimming in the river, never swim with open wounds, avoid water contact for 24-48 hours after a significant rain event, and always obey signage and local laws whenever swimming in open water."

Thanks to a collaboration with Friends of the Bohemia and ShoreRivers and Hack Point Community Association, we will be able to provide weekly bacterial test results!!
