Hi,
William Pierce-Jones has just sent me the results of the water tests the Redhouse Yacht Club had done recently. Samples were taken at the RYC/Rowing club.
- 11 February 2015 e.coli: 4 per 100 ml – taken on an outgoing tide.
- 17 February 2015 e.coli: 37 per 100 ml – taken at high tide.
According to the metro the count should be less than 130 per 100 ml for recreational use, so this is way below that.
It must be noted that these were the results for those dates & times. However they are indicating that conditions at Redhouse have improved as far as the water is concerned & this is good news.
Kind regards,
Jenny Rump
