Petrol leak sparks health fears in North Williamstown

A shocking situation has arisen in North Williamstown where a leaking pipe from the Exxon Mobil plant has caused petrol to contaminate the water supply in parts of the suburb. Several people have reportedly been sick from the incident and the EPA is investigating. It appears that it's been going on for some time.

Industrial properties in Champion Road and some households in Challis St report that the water smells like petrol.

Benzine in petrol is linked to leukemia and other cancers.
