The substance which suddenly turned a bay in Sydney Harbour green is believed to be a product commonly used by plumbers.
Tests conducted by Fire and Rescue NSW show the substance behind the green water which appeared in Kirribilli yesterday afternoon was non-toxic and odourless, Superintendent Adam Dewberry said.
Exactly where the dye entered the harbour was likely to remain a mystery because there were so many access points to the stormwater systems in that area of the harbour, he said.The bay along Hipwood Street turned bright green about 3pm, baffling locals who called the incident "unusual".
