Notes

New Testers, establishing norms for level and flow. Water a bit more cloudy and yellow that WB1 but bottom still clearly visible. A couple of small fish and 'skimming' insects observed. Roundhay 110 CSO discharged at 7.48 am today for 24 mins. Elmete Lane CSO didn't, last discharge 11 June for 5 hrs 59 mins. Phosphate Hanna 0.39/3.066 = 0.13 Above YW reporting levels Reported on YW app
