Water Quality Monitoring

3 forms of measurement:

1. PH Balance – State Law mandates between 6.5-9.
2. Dissolved Oxygen – State Law mandates 5-7 parts per million
3. Conductivity – indicator of water pollution

From the Mullett Lake Shoreline Survey of 2008 conducted by Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council:

“Data collected during the shoreline survey indicate that human activity along the shoreline of Mullett Lake is negatively impacting the lake ecosystem and water quality.”
