Dead fish have been found after slurry spilled into a tributary of the River Towy, Carmarthenshire. Natural Resources Wales (NRW) officers visited the scene of the spill in the Afon Dulas, north of Dryslwyn and just above where the Dulas merges with the Afon Sannan, on the evening of February 14.
A Dryslwyn resident, who asked not to be named, said it was around the fifth time polllution had blighted the Dulas in the 20 years he has lived there. "On Valentine Day's morning the river was crystal clear - fish had just started to return," he said. "In the evening I came back to find the river brown."
He said there was foam on the surface, and that he could smell effluent. He said the following day he could see a large smear of slurry on a nearby hill leading down to the river. The man said the Dulas was a sewin (sea trout) run and that it was only just recovering from previous pollution incidents.
