Always found that funny, especially how I used to pay £23/month with Severn trent and now it’s £43/month w/ Welsh water.
Ok. So that means that someone’s going to jail right? Right?
Sewage in Wales is so widespread that if you swim outdoors, you’re almost certain to be swimming in raw sewage.
Recently, Welsh Water opened Lisvane and Llanishen Reservoirs, Cardiff, for walking and swimming, but banned dogs. I asked them to identify a single place in Cardiff where dogs can swim that’s sewage free. They admitted there was nowhere. Not a single turd-free spot where my whole family can swim together.

The largest local park has the river Taff running through it, and it’s a popular spot for both children and dogs to swim. Yet Welsh Water [dumped sewage in there on average 3 times per day in 2022](https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/exact-locations-sewage-flows-cardiff-26629787) – and of course then it flows straight out into the sea beyond.
Well at least all my eye rolling wasn’t in vain every time someone held up Welsh Water as a paradigm in all the other sewage dumping threads.
Second highest bills in the UK, not for profit. WTF are they doing?
