Ammonium and phosphate were high...test solutions needed to be diluted 1:1 to get a reading
Turbidity was also high, so filtering was required pre-Ammonium and pre-Phosphate testing
EC was significantly higher compared with upstream at the Fort Knox site, although pH results were the same at both sites
The car tyre was still there again this month, and also a bicycle wheel
