Sewage dumpers face bigger fines

  • United Arab Emirates: Saturday, October 11 - 2008 at 10:26

Anyone caught illegally dumping sewage into Dubai's sea waters are likely to face stiffer fines or a short jail sentence, as the emirate looks to prevent further damage to the reputation of its coastline. Inspections have been stepped up to stop further dumping and some 4,000 manhole covers have been welded shut to stop lorry drivers pumping the sewage they carry into the drainage system. People have been warned not to swim in the sea close to the Dubai Offshore Sailing Club, after e-coli and bacteria were found in the water.
