No rain recorded in the last 48 hours, no heavy rain events in the last 72 hours, and bacteria levels look good on the latest water sample.

How swim safety is determined
Safe to swim? Yep!
48-hour rainfall≤ 0.125 in
Heavy rain eventsNone in the last 72 hours
Bacteria (enterococci)≤ 25 (25% of EPA 104 limit)
Safe to swim? Yes... but not 100%
48-hour rainfall0.125–0.245 in
Heavy rain eventsNone in the last 72 hours
Bacteria (enterococci)26–50 (26–49% of EPA 104 limit)
Safe to swim? Questionable...
48-hour rainfall0.245–0.494 in
Heavy rain eventsPeak > 0.125 in/hr, ended between 48 and 72 hours ago
Bacteria (enterococci)51–103 (50–99% of EPA 104 limit)
Safe to swim? Nope!
48-hour rainfall> 0.494 in (AACO preemptive advisory at ≥ 0.5 in)
Heavy rain eventsPeak > 0.125 in/hr, ended within the last 48 hours
Bacteria (enterococci)≥ 104 (100%+ of EPA limit)
Heavy rain = any spell with a rolling 60-minute peak above 0.125 in/hr.

Samples collected after rain are marked with a rain icon but use the same thresholds.
