Water level is 9cm below my reference point, which is 1cm higher than when last measured. Nothing visibly significant stands out, but the DO level is very low (retested to confirm). Passerby asked about ?dark brown/green frothy slimy substance? elsewhere in the lake. At Mill Park I have had no rain in the last 3 days, but over 60mm in the last 7 days.
