Update
MOSSEL BAY NEWS - The Mossel Bay Municipality received the following feedback from the Garden Route District Municipality on the issue of the foul odours affecting residents of predominantly Dana Bay.
Manager for District Air Quality Control, Dr. Johann Schoeman, confirmed as follows:
“The chlorine smell that used to be a problem has been resolved. There is now a new offensive odour, which is that of diesel. I followed it up with PetroSA, and the cause of the smell is oily effluent into their stormwater system, leading to the odour.
More clarity will be provided at this afternoon's meeting.
The management of PetroSA committed themselves to resolve the issue. Garden Route District Municipality’s Air Quality Unit will also take the necessary administrative action through a Second notice.”
As soon as further communication is available, the information will be shared with the community.
