Mikala Peters from Melbourne Water attended (i.e. conducted a site visit). pH and EC tested using Mikala's tester as Amy's tester needs calibrating. The phosphate result of 0.20 mg/L P is the highest phosphate result found since I began testing on 14/11/2008. There was a bad smell near the creek. It smelt like there was a dead animal nearby.
