Please avoid the sea wall footpath alongside Seafield sewage plant
Scottish Water has just made us aware that Veolia, the site operator of Seafield Wastewater Treatment facility, is working to repair a leak that has caused some localised flooding affecting the footpath that runs along the sea wall adjacent to the facility.
The leak consists entirely of waste water that has been fully treated (called effluent) and is not raw or untreated sewage.
With current low temperatures, there is a risk of freezing and slippery surfaces. Members of the public are politely asked to be cautious and please avoid the path if possible. Scottish Water and Veolia apologise for any inconvenience caused.
SEPA, and the City of Edinburgh Council as well as a number of local stakeholders have been informed and a further update will be issued once Veolia has completed the repairs.
