...... holy cowabunga ...... apparently after three weeks, from June 16 to July 7 .... the 7-acre Corcoran's Pond in Waterville Valley must have passed its most recent NH-DES ....... http://www.des.nh.gov/water/healthy-...wimming-mapper ..... test for fecal bacteria sampled on July 6 because the two yellow signs posted into the town beach have been removed, today!

I went swimming in there just now, swam about 100-yards and the water looks and feels very CLEAN and even somewhat warm at 68-69 degrees. Could be the recent heavy rain and inflow from Snow's Brook helped to clean it up, or something?

So, three cheers for the NH-DES Healthy Swimming Mapper and the woman from the DES who drives all across New Hampshire taking water samples from many different swimming locations.

Down there at the very southern end of beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee, the Alton Town Beach is still on the NH-DES fecal bacteria advisory list, since June 28. So sorry for Alton! .....

...... with its next DES resampling happening on July 10, and new results on July 11.

Alton Town Beach is the only area on Lake Winnipesaukee to be on the NH-DES Healthy Swimming Mapper as of today, July 7, 2023.
