Weekly water quality monitoring
Evaluation conducted on Thursday, August 17, 2023. We have a GREEN flag for the Condado Lagoon Natural Estuarine Reserve. We have a station on the coast that exceeded the water quality standard for enterococci (70 CFU/100 mL). We recommend avoiding the area. Remember to avoid the water during rain events. Have a nice weekend!
