More testing

Seeley Lake Sewer District Lowdown Bulletin

The Seeley Lake Sewer District has continued testing since 1994 within the district. This does not include the airport area which was part of the original testing as this area is outside of the district.

Looking at a summary of the wells from 1994-2004, the results are as follows.

Well #1 located at Lindey's Prime Steak House shows very elevated nitrate levels.

Well #2 located at the Seeley Lake Baptist Church nitrate levels were generally quite high with huge seasonal swings. As low as 0.08 to as high as 9.85 until its collapse.

Well #3 Kurt's Polaris showed elevated nitrate levels, 2.14-6.4, but seem to have reduced with the new septic system at Rovero's.

Lake #1 Lindey's Dock generally shows no detect (ND). This can be explained by the mass of water lilies which are eating the nitrates. This therefore causes another issue but does remediate the nitrates.

Lake #2 Dogtown Bridge shows mostly ND nitrate levels.
