“The results show high levels of E. coli and faecal coliform bacteria. E. coli upstream was 64 000CFU/100ml [colony-forming unit per 100 millilitres] and downstream of the pump station was over 100 000CFU/100ml, which could be regarded as raw sewage,” he said. The different colours in the water are clearly visible where the sewage pours into the river. “There’s no fish, ducks and no birds left here,” he said.Walker said the river was so contaminated he could make a fortune if he could sell the bacteria in the river.
“The bacteriological counts in the sampled water were very high and cannot be used for drinking for humans or animals.”
