NVZ's and sewage works

[Tarw Coch]

Couldn't agree more!

In our case the EA did everything they could to pin it on the dairy farm next to the sewage works. They couldn't and in the end we proved beyond doubt it was South West Water. Now SWW have spent millions upgrading the sewage works at the top and bottom of the catchment and, Lo and behold, bathing water is clean, river water is clean and everyone's happy...ish!

It wouldn't surprise me if this is being repeated up and down the country! If the EA can blame agriculture, they will. If they can pin it on a single farmer, even better. They will avoid going head to head with the water companies and their lawyers at all costs if they can!

Yep, I've said it before, im on the inside edge of an NVZ, literally next door up stream is a sewage treatment works!
