Update 2024-08-23: Withlacoochee and Alapaha River clean 2024-08-21.
The Withlacoochee River tested clean.
No new sewage spills were reported in the past week in the Suwannee River Basin in Florida, or Georgia.
There’s been little rain for a week, so no contamination is expected. The weather prediction is no rain until Sunday afternoon.
The Santa Fe and much of the Suwannee River are still in flood or Action Stage. We hear Gibson Park at the Alapaha River Confluence is closed. The Little, Withlacoochee, and Alapaha Rivers are now below Action Stage, although still high.
So happy fishing, swimming, and boating this weekend.
Maybe you’d like to join us tomorrow for Upstream Withlacoochee River from Troupville Chainsaw Cleanup 2024-08-17.
