Observations

  • 18 July 2025

    East Davignon Farwell Terrace (near Tim Hortons) by Community Volunteers

    Upstream from the monitoring location, the creek flows underneath a concrete culvert (a type of bridge that allows water to pass under a road). In addition to the main creek flow, there are two smaller pipes visible on either side of the culvert walls, each discharging additional water into the creek (could be stormwater outflows, but not sure). A pipe on the left bank is discharging brown coloured water. It is clearly visible that two different types of water are mixing under the culvert and making the entire creek's clarity opaque. Colour on the Teststrip for pH is darker than 8.4. However, 8.4 is the highest number on the Teststrip; therefore, 8.4 as a value is entered.
