Despite the heat our water quality results for 2011 were pretty normal. Please note that there was one round of testing that I discarded due to an issue with the duplicate sample - one of the QC tests is to run a sample twice and then compare the results – they should be close but in this particular case they weren’t so our protocol is that all results for that day’s testing are discarded. Ideally I would have re-run the test but by the time I got guidance from the TOA on what to do we were already due to do another test so this year we only have 5 sets of results instead of our normal 6.
Please see Crane Lake 2011 Water Testing Results for more details - remember there are 2 worksheets in this file – one for the Secchi disk readings and the other for the Bacterial counts.
Have a great winter!

Each year hundreds if not thousands of cottages get closed for the winter season. Invariably there is non perishable food that can’t stay over the winter and gets hauled back to the city.
This year the Township of the Archipelago will provide containers at all waste sites so that when you are closing for the season you can donate your left over non-perishables to the local food banks instead of taking it back to the city.
The program will start on Labour Day weekend and will continue till the weekend following Thanksgiving.
The TOA will urge other cottage country Municipalities to join us in this much needed initiative.
We ask you to please participate.
Cheers
Ian
