Usual testing site has become inaccessible with thicket of reeds rampant along the creek. Long grass also adding to snake danger. I have found an alternative site 200m downstream, which is much more accessible and safer. Being further downstream from the Water Treatment plant outflow, I presume this may impact / dilute any problematic inflow form the Treatment plant, however it has been a while since there were any issues there.
