Sewage pollution is making UK beaches and rivers 'unswimmable', new report reveals



Sewage pollution in UK rivers has increased by more than 85 per cent over the last year, according to a new report.

The findings from campaign group Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) say that a total of 5,517 sewer overflow notifications were issued by water companies over the 12 month period. Last year that number was 2,941.

Sewage discharge usually only happens when heavy rainfall adds too much water to wastewater treatment plants. This is called an overflow and it is an important part of managing sewers to prevent flooding in streets and homes. The report notes, however, that it is happening more and more during periods of ‘normal’ rainfall - adding to the pollution problem.

SAS also found that a majority of these discharge notifications happened between 15 May and 30 September - bathing season in the UK. One in six days were rendered “unswimmable” due to sewage pollution during the official bathing season alone.

If they can't even manage their sewers- what hope for nuclear power plants ?

It's what you do in other people's backyards that makes you the center of attention.

The subject is the same. Perhaps your conditioning prevents you from realizing that.

The subject is UK incompetence- from sewage to nuke-waste to refugees. Your government is also guilty of mass Covid manslaughter .
