I believe this could be one of the worst readings I have recorded. Previous flush was 28th Feb 06. Unfortunately it was not recorded. Before that was the big flood 11-6-05. I found this reading on 13-3-06 a bit disturbing as the water was confined to the river banks, not like the big flood. The big flood should have picked up more debris, but didn't read as bad. What is going on? Just some food for thought! Mark Walton HIGH FLOW
