Anglers group calls for lessons to be learned after toxic spill in Fife river

Updated: May 11, 2021, 2:04 pm © D.C.Thomson & Co.Ltd. Fish were killed by the toxic spill in the River Eden An anglers’ club has told how years of hard work and investment was “wiped out” when a Scottish Water worker accidently leaked about 90 gallons of a toxic chemical into a Fife river. Dundee Sheriff Court heard that the fish died within hours, after the jelly-like substance – used in the water purification process – sucked oxygen out of the river. Prosecutors said the accident was “entirely avoidable” and the effects of the spill could last for several years. Now the Eden Angling Association, a non-profit group that works to promote, restore and conserve the river, has called for lessons to be learned to avoid a repeat of the 2018 accident.
