About 7500 litres of sewage spilled into the Southern River, near Huntingdale, this morning.
The Swan River Trust is investigating the incident, with initial reports indicating a warning alarm alerted Water Corporation officers of an electrical malfunction at the pumping station near Baxter Close.
Swan River Trust Riverpark operations manager Chris Mather said Trust and Department of Environment and Conservation Pollution Response Unit officers were onsite this morning to meet with the Water Corporation and inspect the spill area.
“Warning signs have been placed near the spill site and at key public open spaces downstream,” Mr Mather said.
To report damage to the Swan and Canning rivers and foreshores please contact the Trust on 9278 0900 during office hours or 0419 192 845 after hours.
