Perth Sewage Spill: Homes Flooded, Repairs to Take Days

Perth Sewage Spill: Repairs Could Take Days A burst water main in Spearwood, Perth, caused a significant sewage spill affecting several homes and businesses in the southern suburbs. The incident, which occurred over the weekend, has left residents and business owners dealing with the consequences. Repair works are underway, but according to Dean Stacey of the Water Corporation, "it may be closer to tomorrow morning" before a custom-made pipe can be installed to fully resolve the issue. The lingering odor and wastewater have impacted six homes, with wastewater entering the interiors of two properties and the front yards of four others. In response to the spill, a health warning has been issued, advising against water contact activities in the Swan River's Alfred Cove and Applecross areas. The Water Corporation is conducting a standard review to prevent similar incidents in the future. This is a developing story, and further updates will be provided as they become available.
