'''2/04/23 Temescal Creek Bacterial contamination monitoring'''
* members of the lab teamed up to test water quality of local creek, Temescal Creek, at various points using R-cards to test for relative contamination of common bacteria

* takeaways: clearly, Temescal Creek is not without contamination. While these R-card do not give quantifiably actionable results, they do indicate that further testing could elucidate additional issues, and the community needs to be wary of attempting to use the creek or its water. While further testing is beyond the capabilities of our lab, it is our hope that other organizations with the means either take this on themselves or are open to collaborate with us on further testing
'''Summer DIY home water quality testing workshop'''
* members of the lab and local community members brought hot and cold water samples from their home, which we tested for common pollutant contamination using three different online-purchased water quality testing strips
