Truss cut £80m of sewage monitors as part of a £235m Tory cut to the EA’s budget, calling it “efficiency savings”. This may well have doubled the amount of sewage being poured into our waterways. Lovely. |

The beaches along here are empty, at this point in the summer they would usually be packed with holiday makers and locals swimming and having fun. There is a lot of anger and bitterness in this area.
I haven't swum in the sea for some time, there has been raw sewage discharged into the sea for far longer than they're telling us all about currently |

The effect of this cut really depends on how much 1 'sewage monitor' costs. How many would £80,000,000 actually buy? (Deliberately using long number to highlight how much money that actually is). |

Hmmm anyone might start seeing some connections here. The govt cuts funding to the Environment Agency forging said agency to reduce the number of sewage monitors. Then the govt votes to allow water companies to increase the amount and frequency of raw sewage entering our rivers and sea. Part of the initial business case for water companies to lobby and justify increased sewage dumping was/is a lack of chemicals coming in from the EU due to Brexit red tape. So they can exploit a lowering of standards now the UK is out of the EU. So much winning!!!!!! |

The EU could have at any time relaxed rules to expedite the chemicals by as usual they have weaponised it

Wastewater treatment requires few or no chemicals. Put dirty Wastewater in a continious flow tank, add Floc and mix with air for 4 to 6 hours, settle out the solids to recycle as this 'Floc' was the treatment fauna component and clear water falls over the weirs. One never ending continuous cycle. Floc being the bacteria that literally eats shit.
I spent 14 years running one. The main chemical if any, was a dose of lime to digestion sludge before it was sprayed on land if it was acidic.
The biggest cost of Wastewater Treatment - Energy, so water bills are due to rise. |
