Surface Water - Indicator Bacteria Results

Attention: Data refreshes for the Safe to Swim map and the California Open Data Portal will be paused from April 29 to May 14, 2024. Daily data refreshes will resume on May 15. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Indicator bacteria data from the California Environmental Data Exchange Network (CEDEN) and BeachWatch databases. Results include E. coli, enterococci, fecal coliforms, and total coliforms. There is some overlap with the CEDEN Water Chemistry dataset (https://data.ca.gov/dataset/surface-water-chemistry-results). Both datasets draw from the same source, but the resources here are updated more frequently to support the Safe to Swim map on the Water Boards My Water Quality portal (https://mywaterquality.ca.gov/safe_to_swim/index.html).
