Uralla Shire Council are actively implementing measures to address the issue, including the addition of bio additives and recirculation of the affected pond.
Councils advises additionally they’re collaborating with the NSW Government to seek technical advice helping them enhance the future performance of the Bundarra Sewer Treatment Plant.
Councils reminds residents that dumping septic tank waste at the Ezy Dumping station or flushing inappropriate chemicals, oils, and grease into the sewer system is not permitted.
