When i went to the Outfall at Potter Point on Anzac day, the water was brown. There is no two ways about it. My Boyfriend and i stood at the Outfall watching with disgust as the foamy water smashed against the rocks with a brown hue to it!
God dam we did not have a camera, but it is committed to memory. In an effort to get this brown-ness on film i returned to the special place.
The results of this visit were, however more than disappointing. The water was as it should be: clear...ish.

This leaves me puzzled:
Since 2001 tertiary treatment should discharge clear sewage from the Potter Point Outfall, so why did i see brown water there on a gloomy Anzac day?
Moreover, why when i returned on a clear dry day was the water brown-less!?
As a surfer i know that on rainy days or after rainy days the water is less than desirable! The storm water infections are fantastic.....i always get a soar throat in dirty water ....or a ear ache. It is no fun. Does Storm water effect the treatment of sewage at the STP?
More research to be done!!! loving it !! in the non -MacDonald's sense!
