Microcystin levels detected in raw Lake Erie water near Toledo's intake crib:

• Mon, Jul 27 = 0.5 ppb
• Tue, Jul 28 = 0.4 ppb
• Wed, Jul 29 = 1.0 ppb

Toledo officials will discontinue daily testing. The city will revert to daily sampling and testing once a week.

City spokesman Stacy Weber said Toledo's drinking water will not be tested daily beginning Thursday.

"We've always been at weekly testing," she said. "When lake levels change we will go to three times a week testing. That's indicated at 2 parts per billion in the lake. We're not even required to test by the Ohio EPA right now."

I asked @city_of_toledo/@phh4Toledo PIO & Utilities Director to provide 0.4 ppb microcystin test documents. City was unable to show proof.

The transparency rating of the past four administrations is based on personal observations, record requests, and access to mayors office
