Last rainfall not specified. There appeared to be very little flow through the tunnel beneath the dam at the foot of the wetlands ? may be due to a blockage? In any event, site 2 flow was unexpectedly low. The water flow through the wetlands is still erratic and unpredictable ? Melbourne Water are undertaking remedial work at present, aimed at making the wetlands perform as designed. The flow of oil down the Glen Waverley drain continues to be of concern. The oily slick is very visible at the point where the two arms of the creek meet. Melbourne Water has been advised of this issue, and have promised to investigate. The dissolved oxygen levels in the two sites measured was excellent.
