Tim Farron MP by the River Lune

Stop Sewage Dumping

Water companies pumped sewage into our rivers and lakes more than 400,000 times last year.

The previous Conservative Government let them get away with it and wanted taxpayers to pay to fix the problem.

Water companies need to clean up their own mess and stop dumping sewage in our rivers and lakes.

It's time for a 16% sewage tax on their £2.2 billion annual profits to improve our sewage system and protect our rivers and lakes.

Stop Sewage Dumping

I/we the undersigned call upon the Government to stop water companies from dumping sewage into our lakes, rivers and seas, by taxing the £2.2bn annual profits of water companies to improve our sewage system.
