Water samples from natural recreational waters in San Mateo County are sampled each week for concentrations of indicator bacteria including E. Coli, Enterococcus, and Coliform bacteria. If concentrations of indicator bacteria exceed State or County standards, the area is posted to warn users that they may become ill if they engage in water contact activities in the posted area.
