Beach Lab Data - Culture and DNA Tests
data.cityofchicago.org | Last Updated 2024-08-20T18:00:20.000ZThe Chicago Park District tests water samples at beaches along Chicago's Lake Michigan lakefront, which it tests for E. coli in order to monitor swimming safety. Multiple samples may be taken from a beach and samples may be tested by culture, DNA testing, or both. What do these numbers mean? The modeling prediction numbers forecast real-time Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria levels present in the water. The Chicago Park District (CPD) in partnership with the US Geological Survey, has developed statistical prediction models by using weather data pulled from CPD buoys (https://data.cityofchicago.org/d/qmqz-2xku) and weather stations (https://data.cityofchicago.org/d/k7hf-8y75). E. coli is an indicator species for the presence of disease-causing bacteria, viruses, and protozoans that may pose health risks to the public. The culture based testing numbers indicate E. coli levels present in the water. This method requires 18-24 hours of processing to receive results. US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) recommends notifying the public when E. coli bacteria levels are above the federal water quality Beach Action Value (BAV), which is 235*CFU. When bacteria levels exceed 235 CFU, a yellow or red flag will be implemented. This standard is used at beaches throughout the Great Lakes region. For more information please refer to the USEPA Recreational Water Quality Criteria. The rapid testing method (qPCR analysis) is a new method that measures levels of pathogenic DNA in beach water. Unlike the culture based test that requires up to 24 hours of processing, the new rapid testing method requires a few hours for results. The Chicago Park District can use results of the rapid test to notify the public when levels exceed UPEPA recommended levels. US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) recommends notifying the public when DNA bacteria levels are above the federal water quality Beach Action Value (BAV), which is 1000*CCE. When DNA bacteria levels exceed 1000 CCE, a yellow or red flag will be implemented. For more information please refer to the USEPA Recreational Water Quality Criteria (http://water.epa.gov/scitech/swguidance/standards/criteria/health/recreation). * The unit of measurement for Escherichia coli is Colony Forming Units (CFU) per 100 milliliters of water. *The unit of measuring DNA is Enterococci Calibrator Cell Equivalents (CCE) per 100 milliliters of water.

Libraries - 2014 Computer Sessions by Location
data.cityofchicago.org | Last Updated 2015-03-27T15:51:06.000ZThe Chicago Public Library offers one-hour computer sessions and 15-minute computer sessions. The Chicago Public Library consists of the Harold Washington Library Center, Sulzer and Woodson regional libraries and over 70 neighborhood branches. Edgewater Branch reopened in a new, 2-story facility on 6/22/2013. Humboldt Park Branch closed 3/26/2012 for construction of a 5,000-square-foot addition; it reopened 2/9/2013. Albany Park Branch closed 9/22/2012 for construction of a new branch expected to open in 2014. Interim services are being provided in the Albany Park community. Gage Park Branch closed 2/22/2013-3/1/2013 for full carpet replacement and South Shore Branch was closed from 5/13/2013-6/29/2013 for repairs and renovation. Many locations experience sporadic emergency closures due to heating or air conditioning issues, or area power outages.

Beach Weather Stations - Automated Sensors - 2015 - Humidity
data.cityofchicago.org | Last Updated 2024-08-20T20:45:22.000ZThe Chicago Park District maintains weather sensors at beaches along Chicago's Lake Michigan lakefront. These sensors generally capture the indicated measurements hourly while the sensors are in operation during the summer. During other seasons and at some other times, information from the sensors may not be available. See https://data.cityofchicago.org/id/qmqz-2xku for a dataset with similar measurements on the lake water, itself.
