Action to stop sewage in rivers: not anytime soon

November 23, 2022

This is a 3M Petrifilm, which contains 1ml of sample. We took the sample on 18/8/22, near an Anglian Water Sewage Treatment Plant, close to high tide. The sample was then incubated for 24 hrs at 42c. This allowed any e.Coli colonies to form. Each blue dot is an individual colony. DEFRA issued a table which says that 1000 colonies per 100ml is poor, and in these cases a sign must be erected to warn against swimming. So, as we test only 1ml, there should be less than ten (10) dots within the circle. A reader kindly counted the dots, and got as 390. That means this sample is 39x the DEFRA-defined limit. DM me for any further info, or if you’d like to set up your own testing station.
