First sampling in Östersund this year

The Stormwater&Sewer project continues in 2013 in Östersund with first bacteria samplings during entire snowmelt events.

Preliminary results indicate that in the central areas we can have higher indicator bacteria concentrations (total coliforms, E. coli) in the initial snowmelt runoff although the temperatures during sampling did not exceed +5°C. These initial concentrations are comparable to the summer time concentrations.
