Sample taken close/directly below the pipe. There was a steady flow of water leaving the pipe into the river. The area close to the pipe, on the riverbank is very muddy at present. A stream of water is coming from the other side of the road and flowing into the river about a metre downstream of the outflow pipe. I didn't smell an odour today, though this might be due the after effects of a cold.
