Happy to see this, wish in Northern Ireland we would have the same for NI water. The largest fresh water lake in the UK is completely covered in toxic algae partly due to their pollution and fuck all is being done to resolve it.
I can’t see this going anywhere and honestly I hope it doesn’t.
The articles a bit light on details but assuming it was a surface water sewer the blame is on whoever allowed it to get into the sewer. This could be whoever split it or whoever maintains the highways drains if their interceptors didn’t work and that’s how it got in. Expecting surface water flows to be treated is just unreasonable and the pollutants should never get into them in the first place.
