Turbidity was high, so filtration of the sample was necessary for Ammonium and Phosphate tests
There was a foamy froth on the surface of the water coming from the underground section (see photo IMG_9658). Perhaps this was the reason for the higher Phosphate reading, and lower than usual pH?
There was a car tyre in the water.
