Cradle River pollution

 2024/08/22 10:10. Munsieville ext4 sewage pump station is back to square one, no longer operational. The manhole is clearly overflowing and the piece of ground at the back that was dry last time is now flowing again.  The ground at the manhole at the intersection has indications of having overflowed.   The overflow goes down the valley into the Blougat Spruit.  Smell is back.

 2024/08/21 10:30. Blougat Spruit at N14. Dark grey.  Same foam.  Strongish smell present on the bridge.

Bergland. 2024/08/21 10:10 Water has a dark greyish black discolouration.  Not much smell present close to the river, but strong breeze. Some foam, but lots of gassing and some floating black clumps. The low water bridge is a work in progress. Two short video clips to help see the darkness of the water and what is flowing in it.

2024/08/21 10:00  Percy Stewart visually still dysfunctional, no aerators operational and spillage on northern side ongoing.  Can see where it is flowing out the back and onto the patch of burnt grass.

2024/08/21 9:49. Delportan sewage truck dump site, very quiet here, notably no security so anybody has access and could dump.  Looking at the bottom image a concern as looking at the manhole, possibly something questionable has been dumped here this morning.  Notice the almost white colour. The problem manhole currently not overflowing but from the surroundings and puddles of liquid it would seem to have recently overflowed.  

Actual sewage pump station. Some mess on the side of the road. Manhole where the flow was coming from, don't see any actual overflow currently, but recent liquid/raw sewage present.  Will need to monitor. The flow at the back of the pump station and a residence seems to have stopped.  Will need to monitor. 2024/08/13 10:00. Munsieville ext4 sewage pump station seems to be working, info is one pump operational still waiting for the 2nd one.  The ground where there was spillages is busy drying.  Seems much better and lot less smell.  Will come and check soon again.

Bergland. 2024/08/13 09:00 Water has a dark greyish black discolouration.  Strongish smell present close to the river. No foam, but lots of gassing and some floating black clumps. They are busy replacing the low water bridge, rocks were removed to reduce the water level where the bridge is being done.

 2024/08/13 08:45. Blougat Spruit at N14. Dark grey.  Slightly less foam.  Strongish rotten, washing water smell present.

  2024/08/07 09:10. AMD.  Tweelopies at N14.  The water is clear.  Can see that the bridge over the water has been removed.  Weir is still there.

   2024/08/07 08:50 Bergland. Water has a dark greyish black discolouration.  Strongish smell present close to the river. No foam, but lots of gassing and some floating black clumps. Someone has rearranged the rocks in the river and moved some onto the bank.  The ones from the river are all black.  I’ve included a closeup of one of the smaller rocks. In this photo one can see what looks like oil flakes, as well as gassing and black clumps.
