SEWER PRACTICE STILL UNDER MICROSCOPE

An assessment of the water quality off Burwood Beach will be released by the end of next month.

Fears were raised about Hunter Water’s practice of pumping a by-product of sewerage from its treatment plant into the ocean between Merewether and Dudley.

The practice is outlawed in some countries, and a leaked report last year revealed there could be an elevated risk to humans and sea life.

Hunter Water says after 10 months, the study is being finalised.
