What is the water quality at Edgewater Beach, Villa Angela Beach today?
The E. coli concentration at Edgewater Beach is 106 MPN/100mL. While that’s an improvement from Saturday, the predicted water quality is still “poor.”
CLEVELAND — The Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District in Cleveland has again listed the water quality as “poor” at Edgewater Beach for Sunday.
Today is the second day this weekend NEORSD has warned about the water quality at Edgewater. However, unlike yesterday, the predicted water quality at Villa Angela is listed as “good.”
- Edgewater Beach: The predicted E. coli concentration is 106 MPN/100mL. The threshold is listed at 80 MPN/100mL.
- Villa Angela Beach: The predicted E. coli concentration is 96 MPN/100mL. The threshold is listed at 135 MPN/100mL.
The predicted E. coli levels at both beaches have improved since Saturday. Sunday’s predicted concentration at Edgewater is 106 MPN/mL — down from Saturday’s count of 139 MPN/mL. At Villa Angela Beach, the E. coli concentration has dropped by more than 200 MPN/mL today to yesterday.
“The percent probability that a beach will exceed the set threshold is calculated by the Virtual Beach 3.0 software based on beach conditions measured during sample collection,” according to NEORSD. “When the percent probability generated by Virtual Beach 3.0 exceeds 50%, the true E. coli concentration is expected to exceed the Bathing Water Recreational Criteria of 235 MPN/100mL. Increasing percent probability indicates an increased likelihood of a true exceedance of the recreational criteria and vice versa. ”
