Raw sewage spills double

THE number of hours raw sewage spewed into England's crisis-hit waterways doubled in just a year, says the Environment Agency.

Storm overflows dumped sewage for 3.6 million hours in 2023, up from 1.75 million in 2022. The number of spills in that time increased 54%, from 301,091 to 464,056.

The Agency said the rise was partly due to England experiencing its sixth-wettest year on record. Yet both figures were lower in 2020, when there was comparable rainfall.
