We sample every two weeks. See pictures from samplings and the latest E.coli results at the Events tab or click on the picture. Warning: September 8 e.coli test results continue the line of really bad results. Our fairly decent results in early summer are now a faint memory. It all depends on the rain, of which we've had a lot. The Burnt Mills site is NWB2. On the Events tab, the newest results are BELOW earlier ones.
