GET THEE BEHIND US,

YOU NASTY BACTERIA

If you're going kayaking in the South Platte or are headed to Sloan's Lake for a little recreation this weekend or after work, you can check the water quality online before you go.

Summertime means bacteria levels can vary wildly. So Denver Environmental Health tests weekly for bacteria in Cherry Creek, Confluence, the South Platte and Sloan's Lake. Advisories are posted when the bacteria reaches high levels. Go to www.denvergov.org/BacTrac to find the latest readings.

DANGER, DANGER,

WILL ROBINSON

"We want people to understand the risks involved with elevated bacteria when they're in the water. If E. coli levels have been consistently high, it's always a better choice to take the kids to the pool to cool off."

Nancy Severson, manager of Denver Environmental Health
