the TV programme showed that the water companies were discharging sewage into rivers when there had been no rain for weeks ? the govt minister was a joke ? so if its illegal to do it and the evidence shown was over welming why is not anything done ? my view on this from my own local area is that the truth is the amount of development, housing etc thats going into the sewage system has increased so much that the infrustructure that is their just cant cope and its easier to let it out into the rivers ?
