Algal Toxin and Bacteria Testing Program for Lake Roaming Rock

Click here for weekly updates

Current Conditions as of 5/23/2017: The current results for the testing program for the lake are summarized above.  A green cell indicates that results are below the USEPA or OhioEPA criteria for recreational water.  A yellow cell indicates that values have exceeded the limit and appropriate caution is advised.  Your Lake Management Committee’s (LMC) water testing program for harmful algal blooms (Microcystin) monitors our two beach areas during the hot, summer months and advises that all test results received so far have been well below any level of concern or alarm.  In addition, the LMC is also having tests performed for the presence of E.coli bacteria at the two beaches as is done in most public beaches.  Should any of these test results approach the level of caution, the Board of Directors will request that caution signs be posted at the affected beaches for your safety.  Of course, common sense tells us not to swim in any waters that contain unusual amounts of algae.  Please enjoy our beautiful lake and have a safe summer.
