Phosphate levels recorded off the scale (>1.0mg/l) using a high range test kit at both the test site and from the stormwater drain on the East side of Panorama Dve. 2 used tampons were found at the stormwater drain, one in the drain pipe and one in the creek below the pipe. This issue is still ongoing and the Shire Environmental Health Department are still investigating it. I am keeping them informed of the test results each month.
