* Beginning with CY 2008, all yearly and quarterly microbiological sample results will be posted according to the date the sample was collected. Previous to CY 2008, yearly posting of microbiological data results was based upon the sample analysis completion date. For this reason, data from CY 2008 or CY 2009 can not be compared to CY 2007 and previous years.
