    Bowker Creek: end of the riffle at Monteith by Frances Jones

    Water running faster than on slow days, and level is higher than average but lower than yesterday Level is 34 at riffle Not sure how to consistently describe it here And on walking home, strong sewage smell between weir and entry to tunnel opposite firehall. But none that I notice at riffle or below. I think we should test the water exiting the pipe that exits the stone wall by the concrete box. There is no smell upstream of it to the weir

    Bowker Creek: end of the riffle at Monteith by Frances Jones

    Strong sewage smell upstream at riffle and here. Alison and I had wondered if the smell we have been reporting had come from the manhole on Monteith and not the creek. But today there's no smell at the manhole and definitely from the creek. Water height at riffle gauge is 42. It's high here but not up the bank so I'm calling it average.
