South Gippsland Water Korumburra Update
Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) continues to monitor wastewater and investigate an ongoing issue at South Gippsland Water’s (SGW) Korumburra treatment plant to Foster Creek. EPA Authorised Officers have inspected the treatment plant and confirmed that the discharge to Foster Creek has now ceased.
EPA served a notice on SGW to stop discharging wastewater to Foster Creek after the Korumburra plant lost its processing capacity and began discharging partially treated wastewater to the creek above the limit set by its licence.
EPA Regional Agency Commander Zac Dornom says the situation may take some time to remediate.
