#14405 15 Dec 2021 Approved Notes:

The 50cm markers of the depth monitor need adjusting.

Turbidity was les than 9 on top and bottom.

We did not do monitoring at B2 (fisherman jetty) and B5 (Taits Point) as the water appeared very dirty due to sewerage discharge into the river as a result of the Barwon Heads sewer system failure event requiring emergency work by Barwon Water over the past few days. We considered the state of the water to be a potential Health and Safety issue.
