Parameter Unit Parameter Value Q-value Weight Factor Total
DO% % sat 75.50 79.20 0.17 13.46
Fecal Coliform #/100 mL 790.00 20.83 0.16 3.33
pH pH 7.56 93.61 0.11 10.30
Total Phosphate mg PO4/L 2.35 21.94 0.10 2.19
Nitrates mg NO3/L Data Unavailable
Turbidity NTU 7.26 80.16 0.08 6.41
Total Solids mg/l 401.00 44.52 0.07 3.12
Totals (factors, total) 0.69 38.82
Adjusted WQI 56.26

The WQI is computed by converting measured Water Quality Parameters to "Q-Values" using charts developed by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) water quality scientists. The Q-Values are then multiplied by a weighting factor based on the importance of that water quality parameter. These values are totaled and then divided by the sum of the weight factors.
