Petrol leak repaired

A leak at the service station on Memorial Ave, Blackwall, has been repaired, according to Caltex Australia media relations and communications executive Ms Jenny Palmer.

Ms Palmer said the site's contamination was caused by a leak in the fuel box which was identified when Access Energy leased the site.

"The leak has been repaired and the site is being monitored to ensure that no further leaks occur," Ms Palmer said.

"Caltex has completed investigations and remediation trials at the site.

"Site remediation and management comprises active remediation of soil and groundwater and ongoing monitoring to ensure no risks to human health and environment.

"The site is operating as normal and remediation can be completed without the site closing."

Ms Palmer said the costs were being shared between the past owners and Caltex.
