Angie Wilken, the chairperson of the Mount Moreland Conservancy, said after lodging numerous complaints about the river’s pollution and a site visit to the Verulam Plant more than a year ago, she was devastated at its current state. “The stench of raw human waste and chemicals are overwhelming. The water colour could only be described as a disgusting black-grey and the nearby rocks have turned white. This is the worst it has been in 35 years, things have just festered. Will the entire river just become sewage?”
