admits its guilt over sewage leak
WATER company United Utilities has pleaded guilty to causing sewage to leak from on e o f its pumping stations into a Clitheroe stream. Following a successful
p r o s e c u t io n by th e Environment Agency, the company has been ordered to pay a fine of £10,000 and costs of£1.948.64. On April 28th last year, the
Environment Agency "received a report to its incident hotline from a member of the public about a suspected sewage pollution from the United Utilities pumping station, at Fairfield Drive, in the Henthorn area of Clitheroc.
The sewage was leaking
into a tributary of Pendleton Brook, which in turn flows into the Ribble.
An environmental officer
visited the site, and confirmed that the water was grey in colour, with growth of sewage fungus on the bed of the stream, and a strong smell of sewage. The officer met with United
Utilities on site, who confirmed a sewage pump had failed, causing the sewage system to overflow into the public surface water sewer, which discharged straight into the watercourse. Samples of the water taken
at the site confirmed that there was a high level of bio-chemical o,xygcn demand on the water,
officer Jackie Monk said: “It is important that water companies monitor their pumping stations closely as they are not permitted to discharge any raw sewage into watercourses. “Discharges of raw sewage
have the potential to cause significant pollution to the environment.
“Although United Utilities responded promptly once they were notified of the incident, the investigation established the company had no t responded to alarms notifying the company of problems at the pumping station.”
