Experts see above normal bacteria in Tampa Bay waterways
SUMMARY: Following Hurricane Helen, water quality in Milton has raised concerns among residents and environmentalists. Local fisherman John Robinson notes that the water is not as clean due to septic tank and sewage overflow. Tampa Bay Waterkeeper’s survey found above-average fecal pollution linked to storm runoff and sewage, prompting caution from experts like Maya Burke, who warns about the presence of vibrio, a harmful bacteria. While some residents continue their water activities, they are advised to avoid certain risks, like going barefoot or swimming with open sores. Experts anticipate water quality will improve significantly by January.
Tampa Bay Waterkeeper surveyed the water at the end of October and identified above-average fecal pollution from stormwater runoff and sewage.
