Water containing faecal matter has started pouring in Bulgaria's Black Sea from the southern resort village of Ravda after a failure occurred in a local wastewater pipeline.

The pipeline burst as a result of the raging sea storm that hit the region three weeks ago. The storm broke a 20-meter-long piece of the pipeline.

Faecal matter is now poured on the beach and directly into the sea, Ravda mayor Andon Bakalov has revealed, as cited by the Bulgarian Telegraph Agency.

Bakalov has expressed his certainty that the failure will be repaired soon.

Ravda is a relatively popular Bulgarian Black Sea resort located just 6 km from Sunny Beach.
