Wentworth E. Coli Water Test Results

Attention Residents:

Please be aware that the recent E. Coli CTS water testing results were expedited for the Town of Wentworth because of last month's level of concern.  Today, Aug. 13, 2018, the Town received the results from NH Public Health Laboratories Dept. of Health & Human Services. NO LEVELS OF CONCERN this month were reported.  Lisa Doner with Baker River Watershed - Plymouth, says the Town of Wentworth can relax their restrictions on the swim beaches.
  
The following are abbreviations that will assist you in interpreting your report.
