Wastewater pollution
We need to know about pollution, so we can take the right course of action. If you suspect sewage pollution, simply call us to report this.
When you report pollution to us, we'll need to know:
-
The kind of pollution you saw

-
When you saw it
-
If the problem is still present
If we find an instance of wastewater pollution, we:
-
Contact the Environment Agency to let them know about the incident

Carry out an investigation into the cause of the pollution
-
Clean up the pollution and take steps to ensure it doesn't happen again

We consider the natural environment in the management, operation and maintenance of our sites. Wildlife is not only protected, but frequently improved as a result of our interventions.
From here you can find more information on how you can prevent sewage pollutions by checking your pipes are connected correctly, and what we're doing to keep our waters clean of pollution.
Storm overflows
Storm overflows are an important part of the sewerage network and include combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and storm tank discharges.
