When did you first realize you were paying your water company to dump your sewage into your local river or sea?

Chalk and cheese in the same county. Keep the photos coming @Edwards8 @FriendsRib & @markwilkinson1, the shocking story needs to be told.

Drifts of bog asphodel, fields of soft rush and clumps of bell heather on our way back to Maesnant

Magical light on the way back down

"A simple calculation suggests it is cheaper for water companies everywhere to keep paying record fines than to spend the huge sums required to update sewage works."

And there lies the problem. Profit over performance.

[Forth Rivers Trust @ForthRiversT]

Unfortunately there has been a #pollution event on the Beugh Burn, a tributary of the river Almond near Broxburn resulting in a large fish kill. @ScottishEPA are investigating. Levels of contamination are high and animals and people should avoid the water here.

[River Dore Citizen Science @RiverDore]

The judge says The River Dore does not need protecting. Our water quality testing says different.
85 tests, average PO4 levels over 3 times higher than the target levels. Someone has a flawed judgement!

January 2020 law states that all Septic Tanks near watercourses should be replaced by modern Aerated Waste treatment systems But nobody is checking even though every Water Company will know who’s on Septic Tanks as they are only charged for the supply of water

[River Dore Citizen Science @RiverDore]

What's happening on The Dore?
With a target phosphate reading of 0.077ppm, one of today's reading looking like this..... 0.76ppm

[Never Forget @peckham_green]

.@lb_southwark says they consulted Peckham residents about using their local park to develop luxury homes.

We have over 140 video testimonies showing the Council acted unlawfully by not consulting local residents.

Southwark lies and should be investigated.

[Colne Valley Park @Colne_Valley]

Truly horrific sight – unidentified black fluid pouring into the River Frays near #Uxbridge, spotted last week by @ColneFisheries who then reported it to the Environment Agency. So much more needs to be done to protect our precious rivers from #pollution @EnvAgency @DefraGovUK
