After Thursday’s pollution incident unfortunately another arose yesterday morning resulting in the same area with a white cloudy like output from the under town culvert.
Co- leads David and Ian have taken a sample to be collected and the incident has been reported to the Pollution Watch team.
We’d like everyone to be our eyes (and nose) and let us know if they see something that isn’t right. We need to act fast!
How to spot a pollution?
Sewage – including toilet paper, sanitary items, wipes, cotton buds in water
Waste water in places where it shouldn’t be or unusual water flow out of manhole covers
Water that is milky or discoloured or oily looking
Water that contains soap suds
The aim of the Pollution Watch campaign is to create awareness and encourage everyone to notify us of sewage pollution, so that we can attend quickly and reduce any environmental impact.
We are asking anyone who spots this kind of pollution on any water courses to take these three simple steps
Act Fast
Provide key details – time, location and conditions in the surrounding area. Using the what3words app as a location reference is very good idea.
Take photos (where possible). Tell when reporting and they will let you know where to send it.
You can let Anglian Water know by calling them at any time on 0345 714 5145, messaging us on our social media channels or reporting it to us online at anglianwater.co.uk/tell-us
