Water Quality Alert

RED TIDE

Since our BWTF sampling kits are not equipped to test for K. brevis, we are providing the latest testing results from Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
Along the Florida East Coast over the past week, K. brevis was observed at background concentrations in Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties. For additional information, view the east coast report Adobe PDF and map Adobe PDF.
Water samples take 24 hours to process in our lab.  These results are from samples collected on Nov 26th, 2018

*Our BWTF program ONLY measures the amount of enterococcus bacteria (human or animal waste, and other pathogens that are also found in fecal matter) present in the water.
