Natural Resources Wales (NRW) have notified the council of an ongoing pollution issue in a water course entering the Afon Lwyd, near Forgeside in Blaenavon. NRW have attended the watercourse and advised that the water quality was typical of that impacted by sewage pollution with fungus growth evident and a smell of sewage.
Although NRW are waiting for analysis of water samples, they have a high level of certainty this is raw sewage and the material is of a concentration that could make its way down the Afon Lwyd.
Local residents have advised NRW that children regularly swim in the Afon Lwyd immediately downstream of where the polluted water course enters it and given the recent good weather and good long range forecast we are advising that people stay out of the river.
NRW will continue investigating the matter to establish the source of the pollution and taking appropriate enforcement action should a polluter be identified. Contact NRW here
Mae Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru (CNC) wedi hysbysu'r cyngor ynghylch mater o lygredd parhaus mewn cwrs dŵr sy'n llifo i'r Afon Lwyd, ger Forgeside ym Mlaenafon. Mae CNC wedi ymweld â'r cwrs dŵr a chynghorwyd bod ansawdd y dŵr yn nodweddiadol o ddŵr sydd wedi'i effeithio gan lygredd carthffosiaeth gyda thwf ffwng amlwg ac arogl carthffosiaeth.
Er bod CNC yn aros i gael dadansoddiad o samplau dŵr, maent yn lled sicr mai carthffosiaeth amrwd ydyw ac mae'r deunydd o'r fath grynodiad a allai wneud ei ffordd i lawr Afon Lwyd. Mae trigolion lleol wedi dweud wrth CNC bod plant yn nofio yn rheolaidd yn Afon Lwyd nid nepell i lawr yr afon lle mae'r cwrs dŵr llygredig yn llifo iddi ac o ystyried y tywydd da a'r rhagolygon hirdymor am fwy o dywydd da, rydym yn cynghori pobl i gadw allan o'r afon.
Bydd CNC yn parhau i ymchwilio i’r mater i ganfod ffynhonnell y llygredd ac maent am gymryd camau gorfodi priodol os canfyddant y llygrwr. Cysylltwch â NRW yma
