4 . Tipp of the Mitt Water Quality Testing Update
• B . Rogers reported on June 22 , Tipp of the Mitt Watershed Council was on the property doing water testing for all our lakes . While they conducted and obtained multiple water samples from each lake , the only results back at this time were for the E . Coli on Lake Geneva . In the past CCR has heard concerns from some members regarding the E . Coli levels in Lake Geneva . For the state , any sample that produces over 300 fecal coliform units per 100 ml of water is not safe to swim in . Lake Geneva has only 4.1 units and is considered pristine in regard to this test .
