The map below represents the results of the Doubtless Bay freshwater quality samples taken on 26 April 2011. For more information on the monitoring programme and all the results, please click here.
Please note: Due to the heavy rainfall over the last 24 hours water quality is likely to have declined since these samples were taken
The water quality at each site is assessed and reported according to the Ministry for the Environment and Ministry of Health ‘Microbiological Water Quality Guidelines for Marine and Freshwater Recreational Areas’ revised and issued in 2003. The guidelines detailed below recommend a three-tier (traffic-light) management framework according to single sample results of E. coli.
