United Utilities, were yesterday (17 September) ordered to pay over £20,000 each after pleading guilty to polluting the Taf Fechan, in Pontsticill, with approximately 3 tonnes of waste aluminium sulphate.
On 13, August 2006, officers from Environment Agency Wales were called out to an incident at the Pontsticill Water Treatment Works, near Merthyr Tydfil.
The court heard that the aluminium sulphate had leaked from a waste chemical storage tank and polluted a 5km stretch of the Taf Fechan killing over 23,000 fish.
