🚨The Treasury is pushing to keep water company fines earmarked for sewage clean-ups. This isn’t what was promised... 💩 👎 Despite record profits, water companies are still dumping sewage into our lakes, rivers and seas, endangering our health and the environment. The money collected from their fines should be used to clean this sh!t up. The government promised to stand up to the profiteering water industry and you can make sure they keep their word by signing the #BanTheBailouts petition. 🌊💪: pulse.ly/0berwbst0u News story: pulse.ly/rwofs5g86z #EndSewagePollution

Imagine seeing this headline during a cost-of-living crisis when water companies made astronomical profits and paid out millions in dividends. 😡💩 What a load of crap. That's why 15,000 livid customers marched on Westminster on Sunday. #DirtyMoney bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce9g…

❗ Pollution poses a HUGE threat to our rivers, lakes, seas and water users' health. Surfers, kayakers, paddleboarders, and swimmers are all at risk of becoming sick from sewage when using our bathing waters. Currently, bathing water legislation only considers "bathers" to be at risk from poor water quality, but we're a watersport-loving nation. We're calling for 'Recreational Waters' rather than 'Bathing Waters', so the regulations reflect and protect ALL water users. Bathing Waters are the only stretches of rivers, lakes and beaches monitored for bacteria harmful to human health, so we need more of these designated blue spaces. 📢 SAS, communities and sporting bodies are calling for a reform of the bathing water system, which includes: 1. Extend the bathing water season to cover the full year. 2. Overhaul testing regime to include other pollutants and real-time monitoring. 3. Include all water users when designating a bathing site. 4. Overhaul approach to de-designation. 5. End disregarding samples and Short-Term Pollution (STP) provisions.

🚨 The government's review is a NOW OR NEVER moment 🚨 It's time to deliver the radical reform that will end profiting from pollution and kickstart the revival of our wild waters. It's time to cut the crap and End Sewage Pollution for good. ✊ WE'RE FED UP WITH THIS SH!T💩❌ The models of water company ownership, financing, and operation that deliver only for shareholders, while filling our rivers, lakes and seas with pollution, must be overhauled. Nothing short of transformational change will be enough for the public. Today, we recognise a big step forward in the UK-wide campaign to end sewage pollution, but we also issue a clear warning to the government: Water company lobbyists and shady investors will be doing all they can to ensure this review barely skims the surface of this deeply flawed system, concealing the murky depths in order to allow them to continue to fill their pockets with dirty money for decades to come. WE WON'T STAND FOR THIS. Like a persistent rash from a waterborne virus, we're going to be all over every step that you and the commission take, holding you accountable and demanding transformative action. 🦠 This starts on the 3rd of November when we'll #FloodTheTtreets of London in the #MarchForCleanWater. We encourage all water lovers and despisers of dirty money to join us: pulse.ly/ycyjeqnfps🪧✊ #SickOfSewage #EndSewagePollution
