Weekly Water Quality Monitoring
Evaluation conducted on Thursday, April 27, 2023. We have a RED flag for the Condado Lagoon Natural Estuarine Reserve. Although the calculations present a measurement below the water quality parameter for enterococci (70 CFU/100mL), we recommend avoiding the water since four of the five stations scored high bacteriological counts.
