Can see some gassing today.  Also floating black clumps.  The algae from last month seems to be all gone and replaced by grey/black growth/sludge on river bed.  There is a dirty smell present.  Sample point 1.  The sample is discoloured and up close the water has a sewage smell.

2024/09/06. 09:55. Munsieville ext4 sewage pump station. (top right) Manhole that sometimes overflows into the intersection, can see it has recently. Not much working here. Overflowing manhole across the road from the pump station. Area behind pump station, sewage come out of back of residences. The structure that was here has been removed.  Floor is still flooded. Sewage bubbling out of pipe at the back of a toilet.  Sewage should be flowing in the other direction.  Down the road on its way to the Blougat and the Cradle.  Smell is back.
