Per New England Environmental Inc., the clarity of water remains good. The phosphorus readings taken at the pond bottom and pond surface were 32.9 and 27.4 micrograms/liter (μg/L) respectively. Expressed as milligrams/liter (mg/L), the readings were .0329 and .0274, the result was the lowest we’ve had in 3 years. This year’s improvement is likely attributable to the generally cooler temperatures and increased rainfall. Also the pre-season work and annual clean-up was very helpful.

July sampling results forthcoming.
