The Lock the Gate Alliance is upset with the State Government
which has given Metgasco the green light to dispose of its waste water at the Casino Sewerage Treament Plant.
The Environment Protection Authority has approved a one off operation, which will see the company dump 5 million litres into the council’s system.
“How come suddenly it was inappropriate a little while ago and now it’s appropriate that they put the water through the sewerage works.”
The group has also criticised Metgasco for not having a system of disposal in place to service its ponds.
“That’s not fair, before you can decide what you’re going to do with produced water, you do need to produce water and find out how much you are getting and what quality it is, once you get that data then you can make the next decision.”
