Municipal sources have confirmed that the cause of this pollution was a blockage in a collector, which led to wastewater being discharged directly into the river. The situation has caused alarm among residents and environmental groups.
According to the same sources, the problem with the collector has already been resolved. However, the images shared show the severity of the incident, with numerous dead fish on the banks and a suspicious discoloration of the water.
This news comes amid growing concern for the state of the Ripoll River, as recent reports indicate changes in its usage, a decision that has sparked controversy and garnered support from the Platform for the Ripoll River.
