● More urbanized sites are more contaminated than our site in Iroquois Heights ● Several sites improved prior to 2018 (while city was repairing cross-connections) ● Microbial Source Tracking confirms presence of human sewage ● Phosphate concentrations have increased since 2018 (when phosphate was added to address lead) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
