Notes

Just an observation whilst out for exercise, water very muddy looking and deeper than usual given it hasn't rained much and water has been very clear recently. Walked northwards towards Totteridge Lane and found water gushing down the gully that enters the Dollis just below the road bridge. Water upstream of this all clear. Searched Affinity Water for any possible burst water mains and seems likely south of Whetstone High Road, Oakleigh Gardens, N20 reported and under repair today
