Community Lab

In conjunction with Water Rangers, Surrey University, and Zero Guildford, the Trust is supporting a public 'community lab' facility which allows us to test for coliform and e.coli in the waters. An extension to the monthly testing programme, this allows us to understand the specific harmful bacteria load in the river.

For more information about the lab and how you can get involved or get a test done, visit our Community Water Lab page. with the Water Rangers.

E. coli for recreation in England is recommended to be < 1,000 CFU/100mL.

Results are shown here. Use the 'date tab' to select the results pages.

E.coli Sample Testing Results

The tests are certified to ISO standard 9308-2:2012 for detecting total coliforms and E.coli in water.
Where 'R-Card used' is shown, this is an indicative test using a method which is not ISO certified, but gives an indication of E.coli levels.
