A water company repeatedly dumped millions of litres of raw sewage illegally into one of England’s most famous lakes over a three-year period, the BBC can reveal.
More than 140 million litres of waste were pumped into Windermere between 2021 and 2023 at times when it was not permitted, our analysis shows, and United Utilities failed to report most of it.
It means the company’s illegal dumping of sewage into the lake went on for far longer, and was far more extensive, than was previously known.
How long before tap water is no longer safe to drink across the UK? You’d think the brexshit inflictors would have used the opportunity to commodify a precious natural resource further, but it’s clearly so much easier and more satisfying for them to cut corners and pocket the profits.
