Unnamed stream

Very unhealthy

This water is badly degraded. Based on what neighbours noticed — we are somewhat sure.

Is it safe for people and animals nearby?

In the last 30 days, residents reported sewage smell (90% of 4 reports, 3 people), algae or scum (33% of 4 reports, 1 person), chemical smell or foam (64% of 4 reports, 2 people), heavy litter (90% of 4 reports, 3 people).

  • People and children

    Avoid contact with the water

    • Avoid touching the water and wash hands after being near it, especially children.
    • Keep children out of the water and away from scum at the edge.
    • Avoid skin contact and do not use the water for watering food plants.
    • Watch for glass or sharp objects on the banks.
  • Dogs

    Avoid contact with the water

    Nearby: Park 0 m

    • Keep dogs from drinking or swimming here.
    • Keep dogs out of the water: some algal blooms are toxic to dogs even in small amounts.
    • Keep dogs out of the water and rinse them if they go in.
    • Watch for sharp litter on the banks.
  • Fish and wildlife

    Take care

    The stream itself is their home.

    • Sewage lowers oxygen in the water, which fish and insect larvae need.
    • Algal growth can strip oxygen from the water at night.
    • Chemicals can harm fish, amphibians and the insects birds feed on.
    • Litter can entangle or be swallowed by birds and other animals.
How we work this out

Concern combines hazard — warning signs in residents' reports from the last 30 days, weighted by each observer's trust and each report's quality — with exposure: playgrounds, schools, parks, bathing and fishing spots and allotments from OpenStreetMap within 150 m. A sign is possible from 20% of reports and likely from 50% reported by at least 2 different people. All of these thresholds are uncalibrated priors.

This is an early prompt to take care, based on what people can see and smell. It is not a medical or public health assessment and not an official bathing-water classification — follow your local health and environment authorities.
