The results were taken at the outfall.
Seawater samples taken showed that it was solely the area at the outfall that had the issue.
‘Environmental Health has undertaken extensive investigations upstream and in nearby roads to try to track the source of pollution and nearby landowners have been contacted and provided information in relation to land use,’ said a spokesman for Agricultural, Countryside Land Management Services.

Members of the public are encouraged to be cautious and avoid certain areas of Saumarez Park after recent heavy rain caused flooding.
The duck pond has been heavily affected, as excess rain has caused it to break its boundaries and spread across its neighbouring paths.
The pond area and adjacent path have now been closed.
Agriculture, Countryside & Land Management Services (ACLMS) will be placing signage and tape at the affected areas to warn park users.
