Lowest turbidity for a long time. Turbidity tube overflowed. The creek water was entering a sewer pipe which is a vertical riser connected to a larger sewer pipe that runs under the creek. The vertical riser was discontinued and capped some years ago. The cap was dislodged, possibly when a large branch of the willow tree fell across the creek recently.
