The Withlacoochee River tested too high for E. coli for Thursday at Langdale Park, but clean upstream and OK downstream.
Whatever is amiss at Langdale Park, it’s not Sugar Creek, which is downstream. It could be Cherry Creek or Stillhouse Branch coming out of the Country Club. Or it could be coming from septic tanks west of Valdosta and the Withlacoochee River in Lowndes County. Or something else that washed in with the spotty rains Wednesday.
No new sewage spills have been reported in the past week in the Suwannee River Basin in Georgia or Florida.
No rain is predicted until Monday.
So happy paddling, swimming, fishing, and boating this weekend!
