| The UK's privatised water industry is plagued with underinvestment and profit-taking and this is a hot political topic. There are mixed systems - where water run-off and floodwater is mixed with sewage - and water companies are legally allowed to discharge sewage into rivers and onto beaches in "exceptional circumstances", which (controversially) seem to happen scores or hundreds of times a year. Most of the fines issued by the UK Environment Agency are levied in the water industry. This pipe is adjacent to a sewage facility in the resort town of Bexhill, East Sussex, UK. |
