Update 2023-05-12: Clean Withlacoochee River, but raining now 2023-05-11.

WWALS tests were clean for Thursday on the Little and Withlacoochee Rivers.

No rain is predicted.

The only sewage spill reported in the Suwannee River Basin in Georgia or Florida was a small one in High Springs, Florida, that probably did not affect the Santa Fe River.

Happy boating, fishing, and swimming this weekend.

The most recent results we have from Valdosta are for last Friday upstream and down. They show bad at GA 133 and US 84, and we have no new results for those sites.

Thanks to Jacob and Michael Bachrach for their results for Troupville Boat Ramp on the Little River and Nankin and State Line Boat Ramps on the Withlacoochee River, and to Jeanie Bachrach for sending in the results.

Except for red GA 133 and US 84, I’ve marked green all the WWALS “beaches” for which we have recent data, on

Due to Cindy’s testing, we’ve added another Swim Guide “beach” for Franklinville Landing.
