🚨 Breaking News: Record illegal sewage dumping 🚨
Our latest report—produced with Prof. Peter Hammond of Windrush Against Sewage Pollution—has revealed 140 days with illegal sewage spilling from the six sites around Windermere in 2024 alone.
You’ll hear United Utilities cry that the analysis is wrong—but they've failed to provide any evidence to disprove any of the illegal spills revealed in this report. The BBC asked them to explain why it was incorrect. They couldn’t—or wouldn’t—do it.
The full report can be found by following the link below

140 days of sewage illegally dumped into Lake Windermere by United Utilities in 2024. And some people seem surprised there’s an issue with poisonous blue-green algae. Hmm? 🤔
Following yesterday's announcement that a staggering, recording breaking 3,614,428 hours worth of sewage had been dumped into the environment.
Here's what that actually looks like.
Massive thank to the @WATERSHED_i team for the brilliance.

@Feargal_Sharkey Literally a complete 💩 show thanks for all the work you do in keeping the pressure on UK Gov & regulators…..not that either are doing they jobbies
"Illegal sewage dumping by water firms allowed for years by regulators."
The European Commission first accused the UK government of breaking the law by allowing sewage dumping in 2003. Guess what's happened in the intervening 21 years?
