[font "Trebuchet MS"][size 2]The Oakland County Health Division Beach Monitoring Program for this year began Monday June 9, 2003. The county will monitor 110 beaches on 71 different lakes. The water collection and beach surveying are done by environmental health students hired by the county for summer internships. Water at each of the beaches will be tested on a weekly basis, measuring for an indicator bacteria, E. Coli. As an indicator, if E. Coli is present, other, more harmful and harder to detect organisms could be present. Monitored beaches are to meet the one day standard of 300 colonies per 100 milliters of water AND the 30 day geometric average standard of 130 colonies per 100 ml.[/size][/font]
