About six million litres of raw sewage was leaked
A water company has been fined more than half a million pounds after raw sewage was discharged into a river for 23 hours killing 5,000 fish, the Environment Agency said.
Electrical faults caused the pumps to stop and then a failure of the early warning alarm system meant the discharge went unnoticed. The pollution was found to have stretched 12 kilometres down river, the Environment Agency said. “Polluters should always be held to account and, as much as our resources allow, we will always investigate significant pollution incidents and bring those responsible before the courts.
