A video showing a City Council sludge truck dumping its contents into the East Canal was making the rounds on social media today. Public reactions were negative speculating that those putrid contents were environmentally harmful.
Late this evening the Belize City Council released a statement indicating that while the dumping of those contents are not standard practice, the truck's function is to separate refuse from water. The council adds that, quote "material being dumped was therefore neither toxic nor contaminated," end quote.
They also state that the incident will be addressed internally and that it will not be repeated.
