Due to extremem weather conditions and a lack of water in water bodies, no water testing was conducted this month. Salt water lake had the largest body of water still present, whilst the fresh water lake was reduced to mere puddles. The dam was completely dry, which allowed the Friends of Westgate team to remove a layer of gunk on the dam floor.
