Show Notes
Despite a significant reduction in sewage spills in Englands rivers and seas, environmental groups remain unsatisfied. Water companies dumped raw sewage almost 300,000 times last year, with the total time of discharges falling by more than half to 1.8 million hours. However, the dry weather and record investments did not prevent many dry-weather spills, which environmentalists claim were illegal and posed public health risks. The Environment Agency acknowledges progress but emphasizes the need for ongoing maintenance and a long cleanup process.
