Groundwater Monitoring EC Results for Lemington Piezometers<br />
The EC levels across all monitored bores remained stable. A slight increase in EC levels recorded at<br />
GW9710 from 12,730μS/cm in March 2008 to 13,500μS/cm in September <strong>2009</strong>. This potential trend will<br />
continue to be monitored in 2010. The highest recorded average EC level of 13,500μS/cm was taken from<br />
GW9710 with the lowest average EC level of 3600μS/cm taken from GWAR981.<br />
