Weekly water quality monitoring
Evaluation conducted on Thursday, August 31, 2023. We have a GREEN flag for the Condado Lagoon Natural Estuarine Reserve. Some areas on the coast exceeded the water quality standard (70 CFU/100 ml). We recommend avoiding these areas. Remember to avoid the water during rain events. Have a great weekend!
