Kingston Hub Water Quality Results

The Kingston Hub follows the standards set out by Ontario’s 2018 Provincial Water Quality Objectives established by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks. This standard states that a site fails to meet the recreational water quality guidelines if the geometric mean (minimum of five samples) exceeds ≤ 200 E. coli/100 mL of water OR a single sample exceeds ≤ 400 E. coli/100 mL of water. Below you will see the E.coli results for each sample we take, the geometric mean of those samples and if the site passed or failed based on this standard for the most recent results.
