The National Environment & Planning Agency, NEPA, says it's investigations of the pollution incident in the South Negril River have identified the likely cause to be sewage effluent.

The agency conducted an investigation Thursday after it received reports that there was evidence of the river being polluted.

The investigations also followed a protest staged by fishermen in the area earlier Thursday.

NEPA says its Enforcement Officers visited the area and identified the source of the pollution at the sewage pipe from the National Water Commission's Sewage Treatment Plant in Sheffield, Westmoreland.

The Manager of the Enforcement Branch at NEPA has brought the matter to the attention of the Commission and mandated that the malfunctioning system be rectified within 24 hours.

The agency has also collected water samples along the river for laboratory analysis.

In the meantime, residents and especially fishermen are being asked to avoid using the area

The article is a year old. So who knows if they fixed the cause or not.

Of course you are entitled to believe what you want, but as Flip pointed out, this "news" is over two years old and had to do with several dozen fish that died off - it turned out to be a single accidental incident - which is why there was no further "news" because there was no "news" to this event.

Noticed it at Llantrissant one evening when we were there in Dec. No smell, just discoloration, but looked nasty enough to not swim in it. Anyways we were told it was run off from the river due to rains. Whatever it was, the water was clear the next morning when I woke up.
