CLEVELAND — Jump on in! The water’s fine!
With hot and humid conditions expected today for your July 4, it’s the perfect day for a swim.
Water quality for both Edgewater Beach in Cleveland and Villa Angela Beach have been listed as “good” for Tuesday by the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District.
Edgewater Beach
The percent exceedance probability of the bacteriological criteria for Edgewater Beach is 43.3%
The predicted E. coli concentration for Edgewater Beach is 66 MPN/100mL.
Villa Angela Beach
The percent exceedance probability of the bacteriological criteria for Villa Angela Beach is 49.9%
The predicted E. coli concentration for Villa Angela Beach is 110 MPN/100mL.
“The percent probability that a beach will exceed the set threshold is calculated by the Virtual Beach 3.0 software based on beach conditions measured during sample collection,” the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District explains. “When the percent probability generated by Virtual Beach 3.0 exceeds 50%, the true E. coli concentration is expected to exceed the Bathing Water Recreational Criteria of 235 MPN/100mL. Increasing percent probability indicates an increased likelihood of a true exceedance of the recreational criteria and vice versa.”
So what are you waiting for? Grab your bathing suit and slide into your flip-flops -- and don't forget the sunscreen!
