Complaint filed – Nickelsdorf sewage treatment plant again polluted by oil

Date:

Alarm in the sewage treatment plant in Nickelsdorf! For the second time, the plant was contaminated with a “green oily substance”. The sewer worker responded immediately and sucked off the liquid – seven tons or nine cubic meters of it had to be drained. The operations were hampered, the damage amount is in four figures.

After it was already the second incident of this kind, a report has also been filed this time. “I think it’s absolutely irresponsible to throw away a liquid that would actually be hazardous waste at the expense of the general public,” Mayor Gerhard Zapfl said indignantly.

Although the sewage treatment engineer quickly brought the situation under control and professionally vacuumed and disposed of the dust, the incident is costly to the community. The total before removal is in the four-digit range. Naturally, the functioning of the sewage treatment plant was also affected.

Researchers assume intention
“So far it is not known where the liquid ended up in the sewer, but the investigation is ongoing,” Zapfl says. The incident has been reported to both the police and the district administration. Because: “Since this is the second incident of this kind, we do not assume an accident, but a deliberate removal of the substance”, it says.

Information about the origin of the liquid is obtained at the city office or at any police station.
