Cradle River pollution

 2024/10/18  11:00  Blougat at Bergland as bad as normal.  Water level up slightly and some sludge seems to have washed on to the river banks with the recent rain.

  2024/10/18  10:20  Delportan dump site, horrible nauseating smell , not normal sewage type of smell.  No security so no access control.  Seems quiet today.  The manhole that often overflows, isn't today.

  2024/10/18  09:57  The Blougat Spruit at Herbert Ave. upstream from Robert Broom.  Water appearance much better here although clearly not good..  

2024/10/18 09:38,  Blougat at Robert Broom.  The pipeline from Munsieville Ext4. sewage pump station to the main pipeline overflowing into the Blougat Spruit. The Blougat Spruit looking upstream from the bridge is more discoloured than normal and there is a smell present. Looking downstream one can see the darker patch were the raw sewage from the overflowing manhole is flowing into the Blougat Spruit. As I was about to leave a Mogale team arrived to work on the overflow.
