🧪Also in May: 

River water testing begins. We work with the Anne Arundel Community College Environmental Center to conduct river water quality testing biweekly, throughout the summer. River water testing occurs every other Wednesday between 7am - 12pm at the pier by an AACC technician.  Values below 104 cfu/100 ml are considered safe for swimming.  After rain of more than 0.5 inches AA County recommends avoiding contact with water for 48 hours. Results accessible HERE. 

Mosquito fogging is coordinated with the MD Department of Agriculture and takes place on Wednesday nights between 7:00 pm and 2:30 am, from May to October. Please stay indoors while fogging operations are conducted. To file for an exemption or read more about products used, please visit here.
