I don't think they know what it is from... if they had done the DNA sampling, I think they would have stated so.
But only State beaches are tested on a monthly basis during swim season.
Municipal and Private beaches have access to the Beach Monitoring program, but have to pay a fee and send the samples to be tested in. I believe that Laconia opted out a few years ago, and the State made them take down the signs that suggested it had been tested and was safe.
Laconia was geese. They had put in a nice big lawn area surrounding the Cove... which is ''deadwater''. It has no real current as I think Opechee was actually mostly a swamp before the Avery Dam was built to power the Belknap Mill.
