电力故障将数千个塑料盘放入海中,在斯旺西和高尔的岸上进行冲洗。 A power failure released thousands of plastic discs into the sea, washing ashore in Swansea and Gower.

9月24日威尔士供水设施停电后, Swansea、Gower 和 Neath Port Talbot 的海滩上被冲进数千个用于废水处理的塑料盘,使这些塑料盘通过出海口进入海洋。 Thousands of plastic discs used in wastewater treatment washed up on beaches in Swansea, Gower, and Neath Port Talbot after a power failure at a Welsh Water facility on September 24 disrupted operations, allowing the discs to enter the sea via an outfall. 这些圆盘的大小大约相当于1英镑硬币,是用潮水携带的,在包括兰兰、罗西里和埃农港在内的海岸线发现大量硬盘。 The discs, about the size of a £1 coin, were carried by tides and found in large numbers on shorelines including Langland, Rhossili, and Port Eynon. 威尔士水公司证实,释放时间很短,但承认对环境有影响,表示正在升级备用电力和监测系统,以防止今后发生事故。 Welsh Water confirmed the release was brief but acknowledged environmental impact, stating upgrades to backup power and monitoring systems are underway to prevent future incidents. 威尔士自然资源部正在调查，清理工作仍在继续，但斯旺西议会尚未发表声明。 Natural Resources Wales is investigating, and cleanup efforts continue, though Swansea Council has not issued a statement.
