TriCounty Health Department wants to know what lakes you most frequent in northeastern Utah as they work with the Utah Division of Water Quality to ensure surface water bodies remain safe for recreational use. “Every summer we monitor the bacteria levels in popular lakes in our area,” explains TriCounty Health. “This year we want the public’s help in identifying which lakes are most used for water recreation sports including: swimming, waterskiing, [and] wakeboarding…activities where your head and face are likely to get wet.” TriCounty has monitored Starvation, Steinaker, Red Fleet, and Flaming Gorge Reservoirs for years and recently added Big Sandwash Reservoir to their list, as well as heavily used sections of the Green River. TriCounty is asking residents in Uintah, Duchesne, and Daggett Counties to take a survey through their Facebook page or at
