"I remember as a child in South Wales swimming in sewage"
Conservative MP @DamianGreen says water pollution from sewage dumping has always been an issue, but it used to be perceived as more acceptable

💩SEWAGE STATS💩
There were just over 300,000 sewage spills into English rivers and seas last year, according to @EnvAgency data 📊
Last night, the Environment Secretary Therésè Coffey told #Peston that the rise in spills data is due to increased monitoring.

🤢Guess what these items are - removed at an @IrishWater waste water treatment plant? (📸taken during an EPA site inspection)
Hint – they’re ‘ruff’ and should never be flushed! Think before you flush! #thinkb4uflush #EPAoee @CleanCoasts

Fatbergs are a global issue: forming in #sewers when people put fat, oils and grease down the sink.
@thomaspcurran from @UCD_Research research has examined how we can better deal with them. #fat #biobeo #CircularEconomy

Another from my wandering around #kilkenny today. A anti urination stone, often found in lane ways near public houses. The idea is to avoid splashing people would have to stand back into the lane exposing them to public view acting as a deterrent.

Took litter picked vapes to the local recycling centre and staff were unsure where they go. One said general waste, then after a discussion said small electrical devices, then mentioned maybe the battery bin. This confusion fuels the reason we need to #BanDisposableVapes ❌💨

This wipe, which was collected during a beach clean, probably came from someone's loo 🤢 Remember to #thinkb4uflush and only flush the 3 P's (pee, poo and paper). Everything else goes in the bin. @IrishWater

Flotsam and Jetsam. Timber, rubber and big balls of fat were regularly washed up on the shore. Uses were found for all.

While the measure will not prevent the spread of the virus, it will give a glimpse into the scale of China's outbreak and whether new variants are emerging there

You can now see Thames Water's sewer overflows in real-time.
Check if sewage is being discharged to a river in your park.
It's a good step, much better than yearly lists of data.
It increases accountability & shows the true performance of infrastructure.
