ICL Water Quality Steward Will Young sampling Ellisport Bay.

The Ellisport Bay station has been monitored every year since 2012. The surrounding shores are lined with waterfront homes, multiple marinas, and the Ellisport Bay Sewer District. The sewer district uses a land application method and does not discharge wastewater to the Bay.

Monitoring this station can help us detect any pollution from boats, nearby septic tanks, or lawn runoff. Over the years, our results have shown that water quality is fair here, and few major issues have been detected.
