Here's a couple clips from recent news articles...
Quote:
Cowtown Wakepark relies on Trinity River water, which is considered dirty enough that residents are discouraged from eating fish caught there. Fambrough’s pond is separated from the river by a valve system, so he too will get rain runoff. Aeration created by numerous wakeboarders constantly churning the water helps keep the pond fresh.
“The water is perfectly clean,” he said. “It’s been tested and rated for recreational swimming. We’re here to change the whole perception of the river.”

And the water? It’s the Trinity, don’t worry about it, Fambrough said in the article, which went on to paraphrase him, “bacteria levels are within the state standards for swimming, just [as] they are on the Brazos and Guadalupe rivers” and people splash and play and, um, stuff in those rivers every summer.
Yes, “bacteria levels do spike on the Trinity during floods and storms,” but the really wicked stuff flows downstream to Dallas. It’s cool."

I think the other article I referenced was another interview with Fambrough... LOL... He seems to be the only one saying it's okay. I guess anything is possible!
