HSIA General Meeting 9/8/22 *Relocated*

Hillsmere Residents,

Mark your calendars – HSIA General Membership meeting this Thursday, September 8 @ 7pm-9pm will be held in Katharine Hall at the Key School (campus map).

Please note, parking will be limited as Key School is having Back to School Night the same evening. There is limited parking for Katharine Hall off of Mansion Drive. Parking may be available in the lot near the Barn.

The HSIA Board is pleased to announce that we now are providing a hybrid option for attending general meetings. We would prefer to see residents in person, but providing a virtual option will hopefully allow for more residents to participate. To attend the meeting online, please email [email protected] for log in information.

Hope to see you in-person or on-line!

Recreational Water Quality as of 8/31/22

This is the final data report after 15 weeks of the 2022 Bacteria Monitoring Program! All sites were within the acceptable range, except for the School Creek Headwaters with a value of 112.

The acceptable concentration of Enterococci bacteria for swimming and other direct water contact is less than 104 (cfu) colony forming units/100ml. Precipitation events wash pollutants from the surrounding watershed into the waterways and may increase bacteria levels of the water. Feces from geese and dogs, as well as leaky septic tanks are the top contributors to high bacteria results.

The samples are collected by Arundel Rivers volunteers and analyzed by Dr. Tammy Domanski’s Lab at the Anne Arundel Community College.

Recreational Water Quality as of 8/17/22

Two sites – South River Park Community and School Creek Headwaters – were above the acceptable range this week. Regardless, everyone should adhere to Anne Arundel County’s 48 hour no swimming/recreational guidance of water ways after a rain event.
