Tomorrow they will know the results of sampling conducted on Thursday, August 12.
The city of Eagle reported that after receiving the last analysis, from sampling conducted on Wednesday, Day 11, by the Environmental Health Service, in the waters of the beach of Poniente ", it will remain closed to the bathroom, least Friday and Saturday morning, so that the red flag hoisted at the beach will continue until the date indicated.
The session aguileño noted that the interpretation of the results indicates that point source pollution that is manifested by the bacterium "Escherichia coli" has ceased to be the beach clean and free from any pollution emitting source that could be hidden.
However, the persistent pollution indicator, which manifests itself through "enterococci", continues positive in one of the three sampling points, although the data are encouraging, as the decline in the growth of these bacteria has been remarkable.
The disappearance of bacteria and presence of the other may be due to the morphology of the bacterial cell wall in each case.
The bacterium Escherichia coli is a bacteria "gram negative" whose wall is weaker than in "gram positive", as in the case of "enterococci, whose persistence is closely related to this morphological property.
Finally, we should announce that tomorrow, Saturday, August 14, will know the results of sampling conducted Thursday.
