Water Quality Testing Team

There are two water quality teams operating from Thurston and Springfield High Schools. Teams collect monthly data (9-12 months out of the year) from different basins including: Cedar Creek, The Springfield Mill Race, and the South Willamette Confluence. We test for the following physical and chemical parameters:

• Dissolved oxygen

• % saturation

• Nitrates

• Nitrites

• Nitrogen

• Ammonia

• Reactive phosphorus

• pH levels

• Conductivity

• Turbidity

• General coliform & E.coli bacteria
