BEIJING (XFN-ASIA) - A spill of poisonous mining waste at the Wulong Mining Co in Donggang, a city of 150,000 people in northeastern China, forced the city to cut off water supplies earlier this week, state media said.
Water was cut off on Tuesday when a sluice pipe burst at a mine, sending tailings containing poisonous cyanogen pouring into a reservoir, Xinhua news agency said.
Supplies were restored yesterday once experts had ensured that the water posed no health risks, the report said.
