Errr ... maybe avoid Botany Bay
- Five million litres of sewage leaked into Botany Bay after a power outage on Friday, Sydney Water has revealed.
- As well as polluting Botany Bay, waterways in Georges River, as far upstream as Lugarno, Como and Oatley, are also affected.
- Professor Emma Johnston, a marine ecotoxicologist at the University of New South Wales, said the sewage "not only poses a potential health hazard for swimmers, it may also affect the ecosystem."
Get this ... (warning ... strong language follows):
- Sydney Water says the sewage pollution represents only 0.001% of total water in Botany Bay
- A spokesman for Sydney Water, described the release of sewage as "small" but was unable to say when water quality would return to normal
