Allied Concrete Queenstown branch manager Shane Tell says some of its drivers had been seen washing discharge chutes on their concrete mixers in the lake at Kingston. “The company associated with the complaint were spoken to directly and warned about polluting waterways, but no further action will be taken at this time,” King says. “We do want to thank the person who contacted QLDC [Queenstown Lakes District Council] about this issue.”
