Wednesday afternoon, June 28, 2023
Alton Bay town sandy beach, Alton NH is, today, now on the NH-DES Healthy Swimmer Map for a fecal bacteria advisory. This usually means the NH-DES installs two bright yellow warning signs, posted into the beach at the water's edge on a 42" wood stake, similar to a snow plow marker stake .... re-sampling 6/29 ..... new results 6/30.
Waterville Valley, Corcoran Pond town beach, has been on the NH-DES map for a fecal advisory advisory initially since June 15 and it continues to carry the advisory on June 28, 2023, which is 13-days time, so far ...... re-sampling 6/29 ...... new results 6/30.
Say hey ...... it will soon be July and summer will hopefully get here ...... isn't it time to get serious about eliminating the fecal bacteria advisory and go spread some powdered chlorine sanitizer all across the sandy beach where a big visiting flock of Mallard ducks like to leave their "business card" on the sand.
And, ditto this powdered chlorine for the very south end of Alton Bay on Lake Winnipesaukee on the waters edge sands of the Alton town beach!
You know the sandy beach is town property while the lake water is state property so it may actually be legal for a town to place chlorine powder on their sandy town beach and rake it in to the sand with a steel road rake to mitigate the duck poop that gets precipitated into the sand.
Hey there Waterville Valley and Alton, NH ....... go look for some small white feathers on the sand at the water's edge to indicate the night time presence of Mallard ducks.
