The Town of Wilmington takes regular water samples at Green Mountain Beach on Lake Raponda to ensure that the water is suitable for swimming.
E. coli in water is measured as the number of bacteria found in 100 milliliters (mls) of water. In Vermont, when the test result at a public swimming area is 235 E. coli/100mls or less, it means that the water is considered suitable for swimming. A result greater than 235 E. coli/100mls means that the water is not considered suitable for swimming and the area would be closed until it tests in the safe range. It usually takes 1-2 days to receive the test results.
