DEFRA launches sewage overflows consulation

  • Tweet
Thursday, 31 March, 2022
DEFRA

Consultation launched on the largest overhaul of the national sewer system to tackle storm sewage discharges:

The amount of sewage discharged by water companies from storm overflows, including into the rivers and seas is unacceptable.

The Government have already been acting, with record-breaking fines for water companies, but I want Ministers to go even further.

From 2025, the Government will launch the largest programme to tackle storm discharges in history. I will continue to work with Ministers to ensure these plans protect the environment and hold water companies to account.

I encourage people to participate in the Government’s consultation to make sure their views contribute to solving this vital issue.
