    People swimming. Smelled manure on grass area near beach.

    Pearl River at Carroll Loop by Theresa Thornhill

    Water was too deep to measure. Heavy downpours in the afternoon everyday for the last few days. With it predicted to continue until the end of the week---I decided to go ahead and test both bacteria and chemistry elements. No River Flow or River Stage info available from the website. No readings for a couple of days.

    East Spillway by LeAnn Nealey

    River up, but not too high; 2 gates wide open on spillway; herons and egrets as sun is coming up

  • 14 June 2025

    Madison Landing by Jennifer Sigrest

    Partly cloudy with some light rain sprinkles as sampling began. About half of the first sample taken rolled off the R-card, which may explain the significant difference in coliforms from that sample from the others

    No people swimming at time of test. Geese nearby. Big rain night before.

  • 11 June 2025

    Pearl River at Carroll Loop by Theresa Thornhill

    The river is way down from where it has been the last few months. On and off rain for several days prior to testing. I was a little stunned at the results considering the sewage spill in Jackson. I wonder if the reduced water level of the river and the spring water flowing from a couple of places right beside where I test contributes to the benign test results.

    Hwy 59 Pump Slew by Kevin Olsen

    This observation produced the lowest colony count I've reported to date. It is also the first time collecting samples after a full night of rain and a early morning collection time.

    Pelahatchie Creek by Stacey Knepple

    A man was foraging for wild berries when I arrived; last pic is of the berry patch (between parking lot and walking pier).
