Poor Farm River water quality can affect places where residents swim, boat, and shellfish, as well as shoreline beach conditions. Testing after the July 7, 2026 rain event found relatively low E. coli at Reeds Gap Road, but additional testing is planned through 2026, including renewed testing for ruminant sources. Cedar Lake also has continuing water-quality problems that are likely related to nutrients rather than bacteria.
