Do you want to fund such treatment facilities, pay another 20% on council tax perhaps?there is no treatment for it the drains from most roads go straight into the water courses.

Except the traffic levels have increased exponentially in those 50 years. Even the last 20.Some may not have noticed that the vast majority of roads have been in place for 50 or 100s of years but river pollution only started with the mad rush to build new housing estates with their sewage overflowing into old sewage works.
The same applies to fields that have been been around for at least 50 years without much change in farming style yet again river pollution is strangly a recent thing, you don't have to be Einstein to work out where the real pollution is coming from!
Eh why would I want that?Do you want to fund such treatment facilities, pay another 20% on council tax perhaps?
Well the money has to come from somewhere... there is barely enough funds to plug the holes let alone reconstruct roads and add in new water catchment infrastructure.Eh why would I want that?
Road reconstruction would be my first request and for no extra money ct goes up every year anyway.
Probably not do them any harm. They have some dirty little habits these Oxbridge types; I saw that documentary- Saltburn…Boat Race rowers told not to enter Thames due to high levels of E. coli
Crews have also been warned to cover blisters and wear footwear due to high levels of E. coli.www.bbc.co.uk
well if they stopped wasting it ,they would be plenty, so so many examples of waste and total mismanagement, public service is a disgraceWell the money has to come from somewhere... there is barely enough funds to plug the holes let alone reconstruct roads and add in new water catchment infrastructure.
I am afraid that will only ever get worse not better.well if they stopped wasting it ,they would be plenty, so so many examples of waste and total mismanagement, public service is a disgrace

Can i tanker my slurry straight to the sea now when my pit is full without being fined?Water firm that drove truckloads of sewage to the sea may have broken law
The Environment Agency is investigating all sewage spills and the transportation of millions of litres of untreated sewage in Exmouthinews.co.uk
When I was working on the M5 motorway bridge over the estuary at Exeter in around 1973 the sewage ship used to transport raw sewage out to sea underneath us several times a day.Can i tanker my slurry straight to the sea now when my pit is full without being fined?
The problem is, no matter what people say the problem is us. Easy to blame the water companies, but unless we pay the price for cleaning the water but continue to discharge all these products this issue will not go away. The vast quantity sold every week is probably 50 times what it was 50 yrears ago. My mother had a top loading washing machine and each week would wash the clean stuff first then take it out and put more lots into the same water untill it was fairly claggy and all the overalls went in. Then she would rinse them all out afterwards in the same order.I don't have much sympathy to United utilities however it would seem that there is quite a bit of redevelopment and extensions being built and limited amount of new build housing going on around Windermere if each of those new extension created an extra load on the sewage system then it would not seem unreasonable to stop any new development till the sewage system catches up with the demand for it ?
Also If some of the sewage pollution issues relate specifically to the qty of phosphates in the water and the resulting algae that grows on it how much would the mass adoption of no phosphate washing up liquid and washing detergent make in an area like Windermere where the long term solution is likely many years away , these detergents are commonly available in almost all supermarkets and there use could be adopted pretty much overnight if need be, and you assume must help ease the issue a bit but no one ever seem to mention them as part of the answer to the issue ?
