Remains to be seen if this was a one off but the first water quality test by the Environment Agency in the River Cam found E-Coli was offscale high.
Most other sites the graph only goes up to 2 000cfu/100ml. Cambridge levels are 2 700, and the limit for bathing is 900. https://environment.data.gov.uk/bwq/profiles/profile.html?site=ukh1201-09801
Hats off to the Cam Valley Forum for campaigning to get this monitored!
