Swimability Study

 

 

The Summer Swimability Study is a longstanding UGRA program that runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day to monitor bacteria levels at popular swimming holes.  Samples are collected at sites throughout Kerr County on a weekly basis. 

  

The water samples are analyzed at the UGRA Environmental Laboratory for E. coli bacteria and the results are compared to state guidelines for contact recreation.  In 2007, bacteria levels were generally low in the Guadalupe River and high bacteria levels were only seen during flood events.
