2017 Water Monitoring Report Now Available

Every summer from May to September, VLAWMO staff conduct water quality sampling and monitoring in the watershed. Each January the data is assembled and analyzed in our annual Water Monitoring Report.

The report contains the latest data and figures on lake water levels, water quality grades, special study information. For staff and the public alike, each annual report is a valuable reference tool to assist watershed planning, projects, and decision making throughout the year.

Find the link to the 2017 report and a summary of the report below. Reports from previous years can be found on our reports webpage under "water monitoring reports."
