waterqualwebmap View our Google interactive water quality web map. The map shows the ten historically recreational sites LPBF tests each week. The sites include: Laketown, Bonnabel Boat Launch, Old Beach, Pontchartrain Beach, Bayou St. John, Bogue Falaya River, Tchefuncte Boat Launch, Bayou Castine, Fontainebleau Beach, and Northshore Beach.  Several water quality parameters are tested, including fecal coliform bacteria levels. (Fecal coliform levels below 200 indicate the water is safe for swimming.) The weekly sites are tested every Tuesday morning and the data is placed on our website on Thursday and in the Times-Picayune on Saturday.
