🌊 What’s causing the mysterious milky hue in Henllan Brook, Denbighshire? 🤔
Residents were left puzzled when the local stream transformed into a milky white colour, sparking concerns about pollution and potential risks to wildlife and neighbours. The sudden discolouration in Henllan Brook isn’t just an odd sight; it’s stirred up quite a discussion in the town.
Natural Resources Wales (NRW) is on the case and has tracked down the pollution’s source to a culvert running beneath Denbigh town. While the origin is pinpointed, clarity on the cause remains elusive, leaving locals and NRW awaiting lab results to shed light on this mystery.
Theories have ranged from spilled paint to milk mishaps, with community members taking matters into their own hands by collecting water samples for closer inspection. Similar situations have popped up across the UK at times, from a milk lorry incident in Carmarthenshire to rainfall-related quarry runoff in Devon.
The good news? After a couple of days, the water has gradually cleared, leaving only faint traces of its milky appearance. NRW continues to work closely with Denbighshire County Council as they delve deeper into this peculiar stream transformation.
