Petition Action

Ban the release of any untreated raw sewage and separate rainwater from sewage

Petition Details

1) Legislate for new build planning and retrospective action to keep rainwater separate from any raw sewage prior to the treatment of the raw sewage.

2) Require water companies to have sufficient water treatment facilities to meet raw sewage treatment requirements for their catchment area.

Additional Information

Recent events have highlighted the dangers to our population through sewage-based water-borne viruses and the results of any pollution of our rivers, lakes and coasts caused by the release of any untreated raw sewage. The use of outdated systems and practices within the water industry has to cease. The water industry is responsible for ensuring that the environment is not a dumping ground for its contaminated waste and that the population is not placed at risk through its inability to change.
