*Beginning with CY2008, all yearly and quarterly sample results will be posted according to the date the sample was collected. Prior to CY2008, yearly posting of microbiological data results was based upon the sample analysis completion date. For this reason, data from CY2008 can not be directly compared to CY2007 and prior years.
