@SouthernWater so what percentage of the c.100M litres @SouthernWater does 300 leaks look like?
I expect the answer will be a "drop in the ocean". Its not good optically to expect us to use less water when losses from your porous network could provide water to another ONE MILLION customers!
While we’re not in a hosepipe ban in our area, the threat of drought is never too far away.
Small steps to save water can make a big difference!

The sewage scandal grows by the day. Water companies have presided over industrial scale environmental vandalism & taken vast profits since privatisation. I’m at the High Court next week with @GoodLawProject demanding government takes urgent action to #EndSewagePollution
How about fixing the leaks that demonstrates you loose around 20% (TWENTY PERCENT) of the water you provide through leaking pipes and porous supply networks! This is not our emergency, its yours! (Get a grip)

New political makeup of @HavantBorough council has forced a change of tactics regarding provision of SEWAGE POLLUTION WARNINGS on Hayling beaches. The council has finally committed to look at electronic signage. For clarity the council is not leading this .. its just catching up!
@SOSWhitstable@SewageWatch@SouthernWater So local swimmers noticed the discharge? I ask as I have just forced an independent review which is about to start & this seriousness needs 2 be on the agenda. Can you email me all the details and I will have it investigated! I'll need all the details you have ;-) Mike Owens
Hayling Island election results were amazing. Hayling Sewage Watch made a robust case that Tory candidates and the 6 Tory Councillors have failed the community for NO sewage warnings. Excellent result! We now have 5 NEW non-Tory Councilors who support sewage pollution warnings 💪
The local MP will send out minions to remove them! The trick is to go & install them for just 30 seconds, take a photo, go to the next 20 places & post liberally on social media!!
Then go to all these places & photograph all those confused minions that cant find the posters!🤣
Indeed we do! @SouthernWater cares so much about the harbour its planning to invest in Budds farm that will only reduce sewage discharges by around 20%! Given their openness & transparency record we can probably half that to 10%. the EA and @Ofwat really do need to get a grip!
Spotted one seedling today at our Farlington #SolentSeagrassRestoration site! But both plots were smothered with a think blanket of over-fertilised green algae. We need urgent action on nitrates and sewage in the #Solent, putting efforts to create a #WilderSolent at risk.

.@southernwater cannot be trusted to responsibly treat and dispose of our sewage without breaking the law & attracting a £90M fine. So why should we trust them with recycling sewage for drinking when the profit over regulation paradigm still exists? https://t.co/ESDOg4xpp5
"We" are the only Government since the Victorians to claim action when none is actually present! The law says @SouthernWater has 2 REDUCE sewage impact NOT to STOP discharging! 2 completely different things! The Government's approach demonstrates a lack of regulation & ambition!!
@Dicko34@langstonehb Agreed These things tend to happen following significant public pressure, exposure and embarrassment. If LHB cared about our harbour they would have insisted on testing decades ago! Shamefully , this has only started moving as a direct result of contact with Cllr board members💪
@RWoodwa31597327@langstonehb@Feargal_Sharkey@adamvaughan_uk Chichester Hrbr Conservancy WQ sampling is technically not ideal but @GillianKeegan & @AlanMakMP should be doing MORE . Voting at the whim of whips is an abhorrent practice - democracy looks ridiculous. What ever happened to free thinking MP's standing up for citizens interests?
@dhblake@BBCRadioSolent This is not great! @SouthernWater at the time was telling us a continuous 37 day discharge was still ongoing. Apparently, unacceptable to SW PR, they deemed the 920+ hr discharge a "false alarm" and deleted it from their records! #nothingtoseehere!🙄
