Billy’s Creek Enterococci Sampling Results, January 2021

Calusa Waterkeeper sampling results for enterococci bacteria on 1-23-21. Levels above 70 MPN represent a threshold for poor conditions that could cause FDOH to close a coastal beach. Unfortunately, FDOH rarely samples areas other than the coastal beaches. Many of these waters are verified impaired for fecal bacteria yet have no signage warning recreators of potential health risk.
