Sewerage overflowing into rivers and lakes
Dear Cumberland Council,
Does this council keep any records of how often during heavy rain, or other weather situation that sewerage flows into rivers and streams. Does it keep records on the effects to wildlife or would this be a different authority?
Yours faithfully,
Neil Jones
