We monitor the water of 13 beaches and eight rivers to operate a traffic light system to show risk of sickness at popular swimming spots around Southland from December to March. <\/SPAN><\/P> We test water for indicator bacteria. Although they may not make you sick themselves, these bacteria tend to indicate the presence of other disease-causing pathogens (such as viruses and protozoa).<\/SPAN><\/P> The bacteria we are looking out for in freshwater are E.coli and faecal coliforms. At marine sites we are looking out for enterococci.<\/SPAN><\/P> For more information on our testing click <\/SPAN>here<\/SPAN><\/A>.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV>",
