Non Drinking Water Tanker

Post new topic

Hi Guys

A big tanker with "non drinking water" came on to the land next to where I live just now and discharged it's load all over the ground.

I am hoping that this is just waste water and not sewage but can somebody please clarify for me.


Thanks

Jo

Industrial waste water, it is, you must approach the authorities as the water can be highly contaminated with chemical and industrial pollutants.

Thank You. We took lots of pictures but can you advise me as to which authority I approach please? I have pet cats and young children. I obviously don't want them to be in danger.

I hope you took its plate number.

Approach the Minsitry of Health, Accident and Emergency  Department in Bahrain. They should be able to help you out, Jo.

The contaminated water will seep into the ground watertable and pollute the drinking water in the neighbourhood. Better act quick on this one!

Hey Jo,

What happened with this one? Have you got it resolved and found out who they were?

Josnuggles

Hi Jack. Nothing has been relayed back to us. We reported it and sent the pictures but have heard nothing since.

Typical...

That's exactly what I thought
