Scottish Water find over pollution of Fife river

Kingdom FM
Scottish Water has been fined £6,700 after admitting polluting the River Eden in 2018.
About 400 litres of a chemical coagulant were discharged - resulting in the death of at least 500 trout and salmon.
Dundee Sheriff Court heard that an operator punctured a large chemical container with a forklift truck, while attempting to move it from storage, at Cupar waste water treatment works.
It resulted in 500 litres leaking on to the forecourt.
The operator managed to turn the container over in an attempt to prevent further spill and moved the ruptured container to an unbunded corner of the site.
An attempt was made to clean up the spill by hosing and mopping the chemical spill into nearby surface water drains - which discharge into the River Eden.

Scottish Water fined thousands after pleading guilty to water pollution incident

Scottish Water was fined £6700 at Dundee Sheriff Court today after pleading guilty to an incident of water pollution in Fife in 2018, which saw hundreds of fish die.
At least 500 trout and salmon died when approximately 400 litres of a chemical coagulant were discharged into the River Eden in October 2018.
It's thought the number of fish in the area will take four or five years to return to pre-spill levels.
Today, the court heard that on 2 October 2018 at the Cupar Waste Water Treatment Works an operator punctured a large chemical container with the forks of a forklift truck while attempting to move it from storage and around 500 litres leaked out onto the forecourt of the works.
