WA’s environmental regulator says there is a “real and not remote” possibility a pipeline built by a mining company could leak toxic chemicals into a drinking water dam in Western Australia's South-West.
In a ‘prevention notice’ issued on Thursday, WA’s Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) said Alcoa had built the pipe as part of a PFAS treatment plant at its Willowdale bauxite mine, about 130km south of Perth.
