Putrid sewage floods Perth homes, contaminates Swan River
Foul-smelling human waste from a burst sewerage main has flooded at least one Spearwood property and impacted several others, the putrid fluid also seeping into the Swan River. On Friday, the sewerage main had a major burst in Spearwood, causing waste water to flood residential areas, parks and roads. Four days on from the initial burst, Water Corporation crews have stopped the waste overflowing at the Spearwood site, along with further flows in Beaconsfield, Alfred Cove, Applecross and South Fremantle. Your local paper, whenever you want it. Waste water in Applecross and Alfred Cove was flowing into the Swan River, sparking a warning for river users. Spearwood resident April Peck said she could not escape the stench and had been left frustrated by a lack of communication to residents. 'Despite having all our windows and doors closed since Friday, the stench continues to permeate our home,' she said. 'It's now coming up through our sinks, toilets and shower drains. The smell is constant and unbearable. 'We are unable to let our children play outside. We can't enjoy our own backyards or even hang out our washing due to the overwhelming stench and potential contamination. 'We've had no reassurance or information from authorities about the possible health risks. The spill in Westonia Park in Spearwood.

The burst is also impacting businesses, with road closures and the general smell turning people away. Coogee Beach Bakery owner Jackie Mayoss said business was suffering. 'We were working at the time, it was very early in the morning and we couldn't tell what the smell was,' she said. 'We thought maybe it was chemical until a customer came in and told us what was happening out on the street. 'They said it was sewage, it was shocking and disappointing to hear this was happening. 'We are down about 25 to 30 per cent of sales easily because people just aren't coming in, one side of the road to get to the bakery is completely blocked, we are missing out on that passing trade and no one wants to eat when they can smell sewage.' A Coogee Continental Deli worker, who did not want to be named, said they had experienced a reduction in customers. 'On Friday, people were driving through but its obvious we have had less customers today and Monday since the road closed,' they said. 'We can't smell it in the shop because we can smell our food but as soon as you step outside it is horrendous, there's no better way to describe it other than it smells like poop.' Workers are on the scene cleaning up the mess. Credit: Kelsey Reid / The West Australian Repair works in Spearwood will take most of the week while the Beaconsfield repair is even more complicated with no time frame known yet. A Water Corporation spokesperson apologised for the inconvenience and said work was being done to remediate effected areas. 'Today, crews have continued cleaning the affected verges and perimeter of the overflow area and sucker trucks are recovering contaminated water from two small ponds,' they said. 'The affected areas of grass will initially be cleaned, disinfected and, where necessary, covered with clean sand while a thorough remediation plan is developed in consultation with regulators and local government authorities. 'We wish to sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused and reassure nearby residents that crews are working as quickly and safely as possible to complete repairs.' Waste water was also flowing into Fremantle Harbour at the Fremantle Sailing Club, cancelling some activities. A City of Fremantle spokesperson said testing was being done on water samples in the area. Shadow water minister Peter Rundle said Labor needed to 'get basic infrastructure right'. 'It's very concerning that it's taken four days now, it's very concerning that we've had this spillage also into the fishing boat harbour in Fremantle, so this is an absolutely urgent issue,' he said. '(The) Water Corporation and the State Government need to get on top of it right now. 'The number one issue is safety and people's health and the community's health, that's the number one priority.' On Tuesday morning, Premier Roger Cook said Perth's size and extent of its network meant some areas were worn. 'In those inner suburbs and older suburbs, that network needs ongoing care and maintenance,' he said. 'Occasionally, you will see a situation where there's a rupture or a breakage, how you respond to that is the important part and they've responded very well in this particular incident.' Mr Cook said that he was not aware of what compensation was available to impacted residents. A State Government spokesperson said work was being done to restore safety to residents in the area. 'Water Corporation is working closely with the WA Department of Health and the respective LGAs to ensure areas affected by wastewater are made safe and amenity is restored,' they said. 'We appreciate it has been disruptive for the affected residents, however, Water Corporation is working with them to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.'

King's Birthday honour for veteran Toodyay fire volunteer Ian MacGregor
More than three decades of dedicated service has seen a volunteer fire and rescue captain — who has responded to some of Western Australia's most traumatic road incidents — recognised with national honours. Toodyay Volunteer Fire and Rescue Service (VFRS) captain Ian MacGregor has been awarded an Australian Fire Service Medal for his contribution to the Wheatbelt region as a volunteer firefighter over the past three decades. Macca, as he is affectionately known locally, is the fourth member of the brigade in Toodyay, about 90 kilometres north-east of Perth, to receive the honour. Mr MacGregor got his first taste of fighting fires shortly after moving to Toodyay in 1980, battling a fire near the Avon River on Christmas Day. He officially joined the Toodyay VFRS in 1993 and has been the captain for more than two decades. "In those days you just got on the truck and put the fire out," he said. "I can help save one house or get someone out of a car and get them to hospital and help someone that's worse off than me." Under Mr MacGregor's leadership, the brigade has more than doubled in size and boasts one of the highest female-to-male ratios in the state. Mr MacGregor said looking after his team always came first, particularly during challenging and traumatic incidents. "I preach this to all our crews — we didn't put them there," he said. Mr MacGregor has been pivotal in improving the access to support services for witnesses to traumatic events. "We unfortunately had a fatal accident out on Goomalling Road a few years ago and I was sitting in the fire truck when I noticed some people on the side of the road reeling from what they had seen," he said. "I watched them and thought, 'What happens to them?' "We, as firefighters, have counselling and peer support but they have nothing." As a result, Mr MacGregor worked with the Volunteer Fire & Rescue Services Association of WA to ensure that adequate support resources were given to anyone involved in or witnessing a traumatic incident. Throughout his decades of volunteering, Mr MacGregor has often seen tragedy touch his local community, including his own family. Eighteen years ago, his eldest son Shane suffered a serious brain injury in a motorcycle accident. "For 18 days while Shane was on life support we were told by staff at Royal Perth Hospital to not get our hopes up and that he was going to die," Mr MacGregor said. After nine months of rehabilitation, Shane was released from hospital and brought back home to Toodyay where he has been embraced ever since. This month Shane celebrated 25 years of volunteer service with the Toodyay VFRS, working alongside his dad. "Shane is always the first to put his hand up to turn out to an incident and sets the example to others to never give up," he said. "He brings a lot of fun and humour to the brigade, as well as at the local tennis and hockey clubs where everyone loves him." Mr MacGregor's youngest son Darren has followed a similar path, working as a career firefighter in Perth. Mr MacGregor said countless mentors and mates over his decades of involvement in VFRS made him the firefighter he was today. "I've had a lot of good people come before me to get me to where I am."

Heroic surfing priest rescues father and son from rip at Cable Beach
A Catholic priest has rescued a father and son who were struggling to swim at a tourist hotspot in Western Australia's far north. Last weekend, Father Ryan was out in the water at Cable Beach when he spotted two people struggling to stay afloat. "I saw a couple of fellows who looked like they were getting pretty close to where a little flash rip was," he said. Father Ryan paddled over when he yelled out and heard no response. He said within seconds, one of the "young fellas clambered onto his board" relieved at the sight of help. "Being in a tourist town, we do get a few people who are not familiar with being around open water," he said. "[It] can look really calm, but if there's a big tide … one minute you're in the flags, next minute you're on your own." While Father Liam Ryan spends much of his time at the Broome Catholic Church, he is equally known in the community for surfing and swimming in the open waters. The rescue was not his first foray into saving desperate swimmers. He received an Australian Bravery Award in 2022 for saving someone who was bitten by a great white shark in Bunker Bay in the state's south-west two years prior. Father Ryan described the situation as similar to his Cable Beach rescue but "a little bit scarier". "We ended up getting a little bit of a pat on the back. We got the gong from the [government]," he said. Ultimately, Father Ryan said there was "something deep within you" that wanted to help others in need, and he credited years of swimming, which gave him the ability to assist in water emergencies. Last weekend's rescue at Cable Beach was not an isolated incident. There has been a spike in swimmers being caught in rips and getting into trouble outside the designated flagged area since the start of the tourist season. There were four rescues in five days at Cable Beach, according to West Coast Water Rescue, contracted to patrol the tourist destination by the local council. Fatal drowning incidents at Cable Beach in Broome are rare, with a notable case occurring in 2020. More broadly, the Kimberley region recorded the third-highest regional drowning rate in Australia, at 4.55 per 100,000 residents, according to the latest data from the Royal Life Saving Society. Broome Surf Life Saving Club director Fabio Armanni said it was important people paid attention to the conditions. The Broome Surf Life Saving Club volunteers patrol the beach on Sunday, while West Coast Water Rescue patrols throughout the rest of the week. Mr Armanni said "preventative actions" were far more common than rescues, typically involving alerts when watercraft came too close to the flags or when someone was caught in a rip. Swimmers are advised to swim between the flags, check the conditions, swim with a buddy, avoid alcohol and drugs and be wary of rips. As Father Ryan puts it, "respect the ocean" and "don't be a dag, swim between the flags".
