Sewage leak at Aberdeen beach leads to swimming warning

People are being advised to avoid swimming and paddling at Aberdeen beach after sewage was discharged into the sea.

The spill happened during a power outage at Nigg Waste Water Treatment Works, which also caused a power cut in the area on Friday.

The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) said power had been restored but confirmed sewage was discharged into the sea close to Aberdeen harbour.

A spokesperson said its “temporary guidance” was to avoid bathing in the area until it was satisfied that the situation had returned to normal.
