| Sydney Water has been revealed as the nation's biggest dumper of mercury into Australian waters, pumping 40 kilograms of the toxic metal out of its deep ocean outfall pipes at Manly and Malabar in the past financial year, according to figures released by the federal government last week.
The total amount of mercury pumped out into the ocean off North Head from the sewage has almost quadrupled from the previous year, up from 8 kilograms to 30 kilograms, sparking concerns that the country's biggest utility is not meeting community expectations about polluting the environment.
