Bulgarian Minister of Environment and Water, Emil Dimitrov, has ordered a check to find out whether information about environmental pollution caused by a wastewater pipeline in Varna Lake was concealed. The information has been reported on the website of the ministry.

The inspection must establish the identity of officials who had not informed the control bodies about the problem for a period of 10 days. The scale of pollution must also be determined.

A check by divers revealed a crack in the pipe due to bending caused by the uneven terrain.
