10 pollluters caught
Print Edition
Ten enterprises were either shut down or ordered to stop discharging waste water into the Qiantang River after they were found to have a link with an odd smell in the city’s tap water last December, the Zhejiang Province Environmental Protection Bureau said on its website this week.
Last month, some Hangzhou residents complained that the tap water had an odd smell similar to that of glyphosate, a herbicide that spilled from a chemical factory into the river between March and May. Environmental authorities sent more than 1,200 inspectors to investigate 713 enterprises along the river and punished 199 of them. Fifteen enterprise owners are facing court charges.
The bureau also said Hangzhou Water Group will invest 1 billion yuan to renovate two water plants.
