Sewerage plant overflows
During heavy rainfall in late Jan 2018, wastewater overflowed from the Broome South Waste Water Treatment Plant into Roebuck Bay for three days. The ponds overflowed again into the Bay mid February 2018. The Shire is water quality testing tor public health impacts from the contamination.
Its been a phenomenally wet start to 2018 with Broome recording its wettest January of all time (941mm). Unfortunately, the heavy rain and wind associated with the low, has bought down a lot of trees and worst of all, the Broome South Waste Water Treatment Plant overflowed into Roebuck Bay, again. Watch a short film by the ABC on the overflow of wastewater and read the stories below…
