Weekly water quality monitoring
Evaluation conducted on Thursday, August 10, 2023. We have a GREEN flag for the Condado Lagoon Natural Estuarine Reserve. Some stations exceeded the water quality parameter for enterococci (70 CFU/100mL)—we recommend avoiding direct contact with these spaces. Remember to avoid the water during rain events.
