Sewage has leaked into a swimming hotspot on the southern Gold Coast.
A main break along Duringan Street, Currumbin was damaged last night during construction on the M1, causing sewage to flow into Currumbin Creek.
City officers have repaired the leak, however swimmers are being urged to avoid taking a dip for now.
“Although all site inspections carried out this morning suggest creek conditions appear normal, signage has been placed in the direct vicinity of the spill site, adjacent to the Currumbin RSL, while further testing is undertaken,” a Council spokesperson says.
“In an abundance of caution, the City recommends avoiding swimming in the Currumbin Creek downstream from the spill site until test results are received tomorrow,
“We will keep the community updated.”
More to come.
