Bob, good points but we are I think at least i am talking about rivers and not runoff..When i lived by the swamp any fecal coliform was not from humans if it was there it was gators, birds, deer and other wild stuff and they don't have access to sanitary sewer systems....But the river was black (stained) from tanic acid. just as the Negril river is..
BE A TRAVELR
This thread makes me laugh... Rob, having to spend time clearing up stuff because people are silly... I'm used to Myrtle Beach in SC which is kinda gross... so the ocean water in Negril could be puke green or purple & I'd still come and swim in it!!!Isn't that what anti-bacterial soap is for anyway?

You never see it coming ... and the next thing you know ... UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
If you dip a clear plastic cup in the Black River the water is crystal clear it is the bottom that is black. Our tour guide did this I was amazed.
BR Mo,n ultimately run-off ends up in streams and rivers. Just because fecal coliform isn't human doesn't make it any less dangerous. Granted, the dark water is from the tannic acid in the river and not the treatment plant. However, when I saw the disinfection system 2 years ago at the treatment plant I chuckled to myself because the word inadequate doesn't even come close to describing how little it accomplished. I am interested to see if the improvement at the treatment plant included disinfection.
Regards,

Bob,
It will be great to hear your update on the improvements - your last take from June in 2011 was helpful!
