Water Testing on the Black River Results: Please be advised that while water tests conducted on the Black River this past Wednesday, June 27th, were below the EPA’s acceptable levels of 235 CFU, the one exception was Little Ascutney, which continues to run higher than acceptable levels. That noted, we’ve had very heavy rains in the last 24 hours. It is therefore recommended to stay out of the rivers and lakes within 24 hours of a heavy rain, or anytime the water looks cloudy, as Ecoli levels can be a lot higher at these times. Thank you Black River Action Team (BRAT) for providing us with this invaluable service. To check other sites that are tested on the Connecticut River watershed, go to www.connecticutriver.us
