These are the most recent bacteriological reports, from samples taken by SSID's Water Sampler at 4 stations in Savary Shores on September 3. The 4 stations show "LT1" meaning less than 1 Coliform or E.Coli per 100mL water sampled. There are no "background colonies" that had been present on August 20 and 26 in the Lower System sample stations (ST1, SS3, SS4). Background colonies are not harmful, but they are indicative of an environment hospitable to bacteria, so the affected area of the colonies were a concern fo the Drinking Water Officer who directed SSID to plan on a chlorine flush, scheduled Saturday September 7, but cancelled September 6 when the new test results showed the water had cleared.
