A photograph of the tank that leaked a large quantity of toxic pool chemicals in February, taken by the Mackenzie District Council and provided to Stuff under the Official Information Act. Documents and emails released to
Stuff under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act confirm on February 2020 a tap broke off a 1000 litre tank of 13.5 per cent sodium hypochlorite solution, a hazardous bleach-like pool chemical stored in a shed next to the pool. The bulk of the chemical leaked from a temporary tank - due to be replaced when empty - into two soak pits near the shed near the side of the pool, although an unspecified amount went into a grate, that led to the pool, which was occupied at the time.
