    In a similar vein I made a site to check local water quality and swimming conditions in the Bay Area. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bayswimcheck.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bayswimcheck.com&#x2F;

    The Eastern Sierra Hot Springs are goated. Definitely worth a trip out there just for that.

      Not to rain on anyone&#x27;s parade here, but if we have to check the results on the official agency postings anyway instead of relying on what you put on the website, what&#x27;s the point of the website in the first place? Kind of feels like either own up to that you get the data import right, or don&#x27;t bother at all. Maybe I miss the point though?

      Edit: I just tried a random example, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bayswimcheck.com&#x2F;beaches&#x2F;lake-del-valle&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bayswimcheck.com&#x2F;beaches&#x2F;lake-del-valle&#x2F; which links to <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ebparks.org&#x2F;recreation&#x2F;swimming&#x2F;del-valle#monitor" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ebparks.org&#x2F;recreation&#x2F;swimming&#x2F;del-valle#monito... and your page says &quot;Good to swim today&quot; while the official website has posted a Caution Advisory.
