@SWWHelp Thank you but referring me to your website does not explain specific discharges.

[Fran Swan @paperbagbadger]

@SWWHelp
After such a long dry spell, why have Uplyme Sewage Treatment Works and Gun Cliff Pumping station been discharging sewage into the Lim and thus onto Church beach, Lyme Regis over the last 48 hours?
Has there been a malfunction?
Please explain.
Thankyou.

@SWWHelp
A number of your CSOs on the River Lim are discharging and continually showing start dates and time BUT no STOP times.
Example here, Horn Bridge.
Can you please explain WHY?

[Fran Swan @paperbagbadger]

@SouthWestWater @SWWHelp
This has been discharging for days now and it’s not raining now!
Can you tell us why?

[Fran Swan @paperbagbadger]

@SWWHelp Thanks Luke.
I would have thought you’d liaise with the @EnvAgency to provide the public with a full picture of potential water quality problems…
either from a PRF or a real discharge from one of your assets.
Unfortunately, the @EnvAgency @TeamEA never reply on here.

@SWWHelp
Why has the @EnvAgency #TeamEA issues a Pollution Risk Forecast for Church beach, Lyme Regis?
Not much rain is predicted!

@Ames2420 Bit of history

@ChazzerHillier @grok @TimKania @Ames2420 Yup, you may be right
Just found this … some hilarious memories and different names (Rotor, Gravitron, Sticky Wall …..)!

Response from SWW:

[Fran Swan @paperbagbadger]

#TeamEA Have you investigated the cause of these high results for E. coli/EC?
On Sat 15/5, @sascampaigns held #paddleout events
Lyme Regis' one was held on the Front Beach
I now see on Swimfo that the @EnvAgency monitored the beach 2 days before and the results were bad.
WHY?!

[Fran Swan @paperbagbadger]

@SWWHelp
Can you explain this please?
Last Sat 17/5 @sascampaigns had their #PaddleOut day.
Lyme Regis' one was held on the Front Beach.
I now see on Swimfo that the @EnvAgency monitored the beach two days before 15/5 and the results for E. coli and Enterocci were bad.
Why?!

@SpringFord14 @BBCr4today 8.50

[Fran Swan @paperbagbadger]

@BBCr4today It’s a short piece at 8.50

[Fran Swan @paperbagbadger]

@SWWHelp @SWWHelp
So the cause is rain, slow water and careless users … nothing to do with the system not being fit for purpose?!

[Fran Swan @paperbagbadger]

@SWWHelp
Can you tell me why the Uplyme Sewage Treatment works discharged for over two hours yesterday when there was minimal rain.

And it follows over 𝟯𝟴 hours of discharge from 4/1 to 7/1!
Of course, your Waterfit app only shows the last 11 minutes!

[Fran Swan @paperbagbadger]

@SWWHelp Hi Abby
Wondering if you have an update.
Considering the Uplyme Sewage Treatment Works and Horn Bridge CSOs discharged for a number of hours yesterday, why was there no Church Beach alert?
These discharges into the Lim flow down to Church beach!
What is your protocol for this?

[Fran Swan @paperbagbadger]

@SWWHelp @SouthWestWater
There is a Waterfit alert at Lyme Regis Church beach but only 2 of the 7 CSOs are showing up discharging: Uplyme STW + Horn Bridge.
Considering the amount of rain in the last 2 days, and your record, this seems curious.
Are all the EDMs working OK?
