Monitoring the Pix in Hillshott helps us understand more about the Pix and focus on creating a more resilient community.

When we monitor water quality we will understand what chemicals and other substances are present in the water. We want to know the sources and pathways of contamination that enter the river in this area to help us minimise pollution entering the Pix Brook.

In Norton Common we are monitoring water quality to understand what chemicals and other substances are in the water.

Water flows into Norton Common through an inlet and there is also an outfall, where water drains away from homes.

We want to understand the sources and pathways of contamination that enter the river in this area to help us minimise pollution entering the Pix Brook.

There is an industrial outfall in Letchworth. This is where water discharges into the river from buildings.

We are monitoring water quality around the industrial outfall to understand what chemicals and other substances are in the water. We want to understand the sources and pathways of contamination that enter the river in this area to hep us minimise pollution entering the Pix Brook.

The area around Cowslip Hill has previously flooded. This makes it very important that we monitor the river level and inform the community of significant changes.

Checking the river level at Cowslip Hill helps us share news about the conditions of the Pix and how river levels are increasing so you are aware of the likelihood of flooding in the area. This ensures that the community can be resilient to any potential flooding.

The area around Wilbury Road has previously flooded.  This makes it very important that we monitor the river level and inform the community of significant changes. 

Checking the river level of the Pix near Wilbury Road helps us share news about the conditions of the Pix and how river levels are increasing so you are aware of the likelihood of flooding in the area. This ensures that the community can be resilient to any potential flooding.

We have installed gauge boards in this area. These are big rulers which show where the river level is. This helps everyone see the rise and fall of the river level as it changes.

We’d love to see your Pics of the Pix and the different levels that you capture – please take care when you are near the water and don’t get close if the level is high.

We also monitor water quality at Wilbury Road to understand what chemicals and other substances are in the water. We want to know the sources and pathways of contamination that enter the river in this area to help us minimise pollution entering the Pix Brook.

We have installed a gauge station at Standalone Farm which shows where the river level is. This helps everyone see the rise and fall of the river level as it changes.

At Standalone Farm we use the gauge station to help us understand the changes to the river level after a rainfall event. Look out for the unusual gauge station here – most are simple grey boxes but this one is very different!

We’d love to see your Pics of the Pix and the different levels that you capture – please take care when you are near the water and don’t get close if the level is high.

We monitor the river level and water quality at the reservoir. In the future we will also be installing rain gauges to help us decide the best way of managing rainwater.

Checking the river level helps us share news about the conditions of the Pix. If the river levels are increasing so we can let you know about the likelihood of flooding in the area. This ensures that the community can be resilient to any potential flooding.

We monitor rainfall at the reservoir and have installed a rain gauge here too. Monitoring rainfall will help us to decide where we should install smart and traditional Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) to manage rainwater in urban areas to slow flows by mimicking the way water naturally drains into the ground.

We also monitor water quality at the reservoir to understand what chemicals and other substances are in the water. We want to know the sources and pathways of contamination that enter the river in this area to help us minimise pollution entering the Pix Brook.

Monitoring the Pix downstream of the reservoir at Letchworth helps us understand more about the Pix and focus on creating a more resilient community.

We monitor the river level downstream of the reservoir at Letchworth using a water level gauge station. Monitoring the river level here helps us understand the conditions of the Pix.

We monitor water quality downstream of the reservoir at Fairfield to understand what chemicals and other substances are in the water.

We want to know the sources and pathways of contamination that enter the river downstream of the reservoir at Fairfield to help us minimise pollution entering the Pix Brook.

We monitor the river level close to Valerian Way using a water level gauge station.

Monitoring the river level close to Valerian Way helps us understand more about the Pix. If the river levels are increasing, we can let you know about the likelihood of flooding in the area. This ensures that the community can be resilient to any potential flooding.

We monitor the river level near Brook Street using a water level gauge station and gauge boards.

Monitoring the river level near Brook Street helps us understand more about the Pix. If the river levels are increasing we will have a better understanding of how flash flooding affects this area. This will help to help improve flood risk as part of our project. We will then be better informed to let you know about the likelihood of flooding in the area. This ensures that your community can be resilient to any potential flooding by taking necessary precautions.

We monitor the river level close to Etonbury Woods using a water level gauge station.

Monitoring the river level near Etonbury Woods helps us understand more about the Pix. If the river levels are increasing we can let you know about the likelihood of flooding in the area. This ensures that the community can be resilient to any potential flooding

We monitor water quality in the Pix at Church End. This helps us to understand what chemicals and other substances are in the water.

Monitoring water quality in the River Pix at Church end helps us to understand the sources and pathways of contamination that enter the river in this area. This helps us minimise pollution entering the Pix Brook.
