Due to illegal discharge of an unidentified white substance operations at the Gozo sewage plant have had to be shut down.
The Water Services Corporation in a statement on Monday, said that this is a measure to ensure that the plant’s operations are safeguarded and that it recovers treatment efficacy as soon as possible.
The Corporation added that it has informed the relevant environmental authorities and is gathering all information which will be passed on to the police.
It also reiterated that the sewage infrastructure is very “complex and delicate” and that such infrastructure is damaged through the improper use of the urban sewer system.
The Corporations stress that it is therefore very important that only human toilet waste and degradable toilet paper are discharged in the system.
Any suspected foul play or problems with the sewer can be reported to the Corporation on Freephone: 8007 6400; Email: customercare@wsc.com.mt [1] Website live chat: www.wsc.com.mt [2] or through our social media.
