The beach at El Dorado Ranch, San Felipe is among the 12 most contaminated beaches in Mexico. It has 364 enterococcus bateria per 100 milliliters.
There are only four beaches in all of Mexico with higher contamination. The US federal standard limit is 35 per 100 ml. |
What is the Imperial Beach number? I remember back in the 80's when I surfed at dawn every day (Pacific Beach)- The Reader reported the hepatitis
rate for surfers in San Diego was six times the rate of non-surfers...

It sure is amazing that with all the poisoned water in the US, we still have a longer life expectancy than Mexicans.
Maybe it's our superior medical system?

What a miracle! Only one day after the Mexican environmental agency lists the beach at El Dorado Ranch as the 4th most contaminated beach in all of
Mexico, with 364 enterococcus bateria per 100 milliliters, the Baja California Tourism Ministry announces that it is safe. Once again, politics trumps
science.

Aseguran que playas de BC son aptas para uso recreativo
En ese sentido de acuerdo a las mediciones realizadas a lo largo de los últimos meses, la totalidad de las playas monitoreadas son aptas para uso
recreativo, incluyendo las playas de San Felipe, las cuales no han presentado condiciones que ameriten el cierre de estas playas para los bañistas.
Respecto al caso de San Felipe, con relación a las mediciones dadas a conocer por la Comisión Federal para la Protección contra Riesgos Sanitarios, se
debe establecer que de acuerdo a la última muestra realizada el pasado 19 de marzo, los niveles de enterococos registrados estuvieron muy por debajo
del límite que establece la Norma Oficial Mexicana de 200 enterococos por cada 100 mililitros. |

Not saying it's right, but there is a sense of desperation within the tourist oriented community. And, I think maybe they should be given a pass.
After all, how many folks have vacationed in the San Felipe area in the past few decades?

Used to work on water issues... this is one of many contaminats which continues to increase in our ground water.. and it is not regional, rather
National and Global in scope.. as the population increases so does the degree of contamination of our groundwater...
And when one adds in drought conditions, the concentrations only are increased by decreased volume to dilute
"Massive Microbiological Groundwater Contamination Associated with a Waterborne Outbreak in Lake Erie, South Bass Island, Ohio"
Just one I grabbed from a Google search.. did not even go to the E.P.A. and/or Water Resources Boards of the States...
A minium treicary level of treatement and most are trying to get to the fouth level of treatment...
It would work, if the all the money which is now being spent on "Sparkletts" and all the other Companies who have gotten to the head of line on "GOOD
Tasting water" where just spent on City, County and State Water Systems which are in place currently.. just up grade
In Mexico, in Baja at least... one would first have to establish a tax on all to support the construction of a "treatment system" and each city having
one..... well, it does not seem possible to me at this time...
Personal whole house systems for treatment appear to be the only way to insure "potable water" is coming out of your tap, other than dealing with
"bottled water"...
I know on individual on this board who has done this... put a inline whole house treatment system in... down in Ensenada.. seems to be a very smart
thing to do...... to me... they are just filters and pvc... I would bet there are some smart folks right on this board that can whip up something in a
heartbeat ....

Clean water
Install a whole house particulate filter (to remove the large chunks) then run your house water line through one of these systems:
