Galena seventh-graders test Shoal Creek
McAllister said she most enjoyed the phosphate test, because it required many steps to accomplish.
“I think it’s kind of cool how we get to test our water to see how good it is and how it’s not as bad as you think,” she said.
“If you were going to swim in this water, what would you want to know the most?” Eisele asked.
“E. coli,” a pupil answered.
Eisele said that was correct, because E. coli was the most likely thing to make them sick.
She said one pupil told her she was going to check her laundry detergent at home for phosphate level.
Eisele and Phipps said the pupils didn’t test for heavy metals, because that has to be done professionally. They said they would probably expect to find heavy metals in the water, because of the area’s mining history.
Hayes said it’s positive that the tests suggested Shoal Creek was in good condition, but cautioned that no absolute conclusions can be reached from testing on one date.
“They’re only a snapshot in time,” he said.
He said the project is a good one, because responsibility for the creek will someday belong to today’s children.
“I really am encouraged by the interest they seemed to show,” he said.
