 Last weekend some water samples were taken on the SSI Footpath 27, as part of a wider survey of water quality.   The samples were taken from as close to the Mere Gutter as was possible since it was understood that the expanding sewage works no longer discharged sewage into the Mere, but into the Mere Gutter.
