Warning as Perth sewage spill spreads
- A major sewer main burst on Friday morning in Spearwood caused wastewater to flood streets, two homes, and four front yards in Perth's southern suburbs.
- The burst led to subsequent overflows affecting Beaconsfield, Bruce Lee Reserve, and smaller related spills in Alfred Cove, Applecross, and South Fremantle.
- Authorities installed warning signs, barricades, and security around affected areas including Hamilton Road and Watsonia Park, urging residents to avoid contact due to health risks.
- Water Corporation advised against fishing and crabbing in the Swan River sections at Alfred Cove, Applecross, and Fremantle Sailing Club because of pollution from minor overflows.
- Repairs are underway but expected to take days due to complexity, with a custom pipe being fabricated, while remediation and safety measures continue and residents remain concerned about sewage spread.
