Better bacterial levels in Valdosta WQ data 2019-04-02

All of Valdosta’s water quality sampling stations were below the Georgia state limit for E. coli for the first week of April. Valdosta no longer samples weekly, only once a month. It also no longer samples at the state line.

We got this monthly Valdosta WQ data via open records request, as usual. As I said at the April 10, 2019 meeting between Valdosta and the dozen Florida counties, I also filed the next day open records requests for Valdosta’s permit-required spill-followup test data, and for the engineering study they said they had related to how big the new catch basin needs to be. Yesterday I got the latest monthly data a day late, but only a “working on it” about the other two requests. I will now file a request with the state of Georgia for the spill-followup data.

Usually we show more than one station graph, but today WaterReporter’s graphs are not working. Also not working for different data sets that I did not change, not just for this new dataset. Fortunately, soon we should be able to put data in Georgia Adopt-A-Stream instead.
