On the site of an abandoned plant, an act of vandalism or theft led to the spillage of several hundred litres of cooling fluid contained in an un-drained boiler. The liquid flowed into an internal gutter of the boiler room and then reached the public way through a pipe running through the wall of the premises. The sanitation department recovered around 500 litres of liquid in a rain water network. A list of abandoned products and waste material was drawn up for disposal.
