The results are in — ahead of schedule.
All five Mullett Lake and adjacent sites tested well below the EGLE safe limit of 300 CFU for E. coli. Results for Aloha will come out next week. The highest reading was 31.8 — well below any level for concern.
This was the first expanded test since the spring flooding, made possible by MAPS' support for DHD4's Bathing Beach Monitoring Program. More data, better picture.
Repeat testing planned for next week. We'll keep you posted. Follow us for updates.

MAPS is supporting DHD4 (District Health Department No. 4) on expanded water testing across Mullett Lake and the Indian River—testing for E. coli bacteria levels in the wake of this spring's flooding.
MAPS funding adds five additional representative sites around Mullett, giving us a better picture of where things stand.
Results are expected June 2. We'll post them as soon as we have them.
