Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) officers have attended Torquay Beach following a pollution report from a member of the public that a black sludge had been observed entering the water from a stormwater drain.
EPA officers located the stormwater drain at Torquay Beach and identified that the flow had stopped and the liquid had dissipated from both the beach and the water.
EPA will now focus its attention towards trying to locate the source of the liquid that flowed through the stormwater drain to the beach.
