Latest water quality results are showing that conditions are improving. We have a further reduction in levels of total ammonia (0.27 mg/L, pH 8.3, 7.3 °C), and water clarity remains stable. It is also encouraging to see the oxygen levels increasing to similar levels to the river (10.7 mg/L, 90.5 % sat.), which is good news for trout that need well oxygenated water.
