Lake Trafford Water Quality Program

As part of the Lake Trafford Restoration project, Collier County (Pollution Control and Prevention) has developed a water quality monitoring program for Lake Trafford. Grab samples have been collected monthly at 8 locations in the lake.

These data will provide a baseline for comparing the lake water quality before, during, and after removal of the sediment from the lake.

The water quality project also will include a station for continuous monitoring of water quality.
