Sewage overflow hits Queanbeyan River and Lake Burley Griffin
Raw sewage spilled from the Morrisett Street pumping station in Queanbeyan after a breakdown. The 1pm failure led to a large discharge before a standby pump operated later, delaying warnings to ACT authorities and delaying Lake Burley Griffin reopening. Officials criticized the delay and noted rain increased river levels, diluting sewage and delaying safety assessments. Investigations and repairs continued as health authorities prepared tests to determine when the lake would be safe for use.
