Description

Water in the protected River Wensum has high levels of bacteria found in human and animal excrement, according to tests carried out by the EDP. Our reporter took a sample at Carrow Bridge and sent it to a lab for testing. Scientists found high readings of a type of bacteria contained in mammal waste called coliform, the most common of which is E.Coli.
