Title: Malodours and discolouration on the Wool Brook Sidmouth
Author: R. Pearson
Document Type: Monograph
Abstract:
A request was received from a Water Quality Officer to investigate the cause of intermittant malodours and discolouration of the Wool Brook, Sidmouth. The Wool Brook is a tributary of the River Sid. This report is concerned with approximately 1 km of the Wool Brook from the Recreation Ground, Lower Woolbrook upstream to the road bridge at Higher Woolbrook. Between sites 1 and 4 the watercourse adjoins residential property and allotments. From site 4 to site 6 the Wool Brook is spanned by numerous private foul water pipes which connect to a main sewer in the road. The sewer runs within 5 metres of the Wool Brook for some 200 metres.
