Water Quality Monitoring
Annual Monitoring Reports
The annual lake sampling and monitoring program runs monthly from April through November at the six locations on Canandaigua Lake shown in the map (two mid-lake and four near shore sites). This long-term monitoring program began in 1996 and is a partnership with Finger Lakes Community College.
