 : Failed SampleLocal SEPA staff have carried out an extensive investigation into the operation of the sewerage infrastructure at the time this poor result was recorded, and have concluded that the failure to meet mandatory standards cannot be attributed to any specific overflow of sewage or malfunctioning of the system. There were very heavy and localised downpours in the days prior to when the sample was taken, and whilst recorded rainfall totals were not sufficiently high to invoke an abnormal weather waiver it is possible that the heavy rain caused an increase in the amount of bacteria being transported to the bathing water via local watercourses. | ||||
