These are the most recent bacteriological reports, from samples taken by SSID's Water Sampler at 8 stations in Savary Shores on May 20. Seven test results show "LT1" which is the best possible result, meaning less than 1 Coliform or E.Coli per 100mL water sampled. One station showed 1 coliform, so we will have to retest there. Coliforms are not harmful, but do indicate an environment in which more harmful bacteria could thrive, if the suspect area is not cleared by flushing and/or treatment such as chlorination.
There is no April 2025 report because of a flight cancellation (runway construction) to the lab, after samples had already been delivered to Vancouver Coastal Health. However, we know from the bacteriological results of the April Full Spectrum Report, that there were no Coliforms or E.Coli.
PDF reports from 2023-2024 are available for download from the foot of this page. Reports from 2017-2022 can be downloaded from the Archived Reports page. For a list of other components of SSID water, see the most recent Full Spectrum Report, performed twice per year on both wells, and the Nitrates Tables recorded quarterly. Sample station locations are identified on the Waterworks System Map. Download and enlarge the map to see its legend.
