Record number of illegal sewage spills in Windermere last year https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg19q7pjdeo

“The campaigners from Windrush Against Sewage Pollution (WASP) and Save Windermere identified 140 illegal spill days in 2024, more than in any of the three previous years. United Utilities told BBC News that the campaigners' findings were "inaccurate" and some of the data "erroneous". The company declined to put in writing, despite repeated requests, any specific examples of mistakes or omissions.” Draw your own conclusions! #Windermere #UnitedUtilities #Sewage

"UK government vows to clean up Windermere after sewage criticism"

#UK #UnitedKingdom #Windermere #Sewage #Pollution

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/mar/09/uk-government-vows-to-clean-up-windermere-after-sewage-criticism

We made a couple of brief stops after Liverpool before crossing over the border into Scotland on our 2010 trip up north; one was to Maryport, just to see what it was like and to catch the views across the Solway to Scotland from England, but prior to that we detoured through the Lake District. I'd never been there and my wife wanted to pick up some gingerbread from Grasmere so we followed a meandering route through the landscape with a couple of breaks including one at Windermere to stretch the legs for a bit of a walk around the lake. Only a bit, though.

We're beside a lake surrounded by trees densely-packed, close to the water; some grow right at the very edge of where the water laps gently against the dirt. It's a bright, sunny day with a blue sky dotted with puffy white clouds. The soil at our feet becomes grass to the right where tree trunks rise and leafy branches dip downwards. To the left of the view, almost in touching distance, there is a younger tree with a trunk barely more than an arm's width, stretching straight up with just a few small, twigs and one slender branch sprouting near the top of the view. It feels cool and peaceful in the partial shade here by the water.

Windermere and its History No One Wants to Discuss

It was a bit wet this morning in the Lakes, so here is a photograph from yesterday’s walk up Wansfell instead.

This is, of course, Windermere, England’s largest lake, famed for its picturesque scenery but cursed with a history no postcard could capture. And I don’t mean the recent sewage discharge debacle. A favourite with tourists, t ...

‘It’s a national disgrace’: fury at sewage-filled Windermere over toxic algae and dead fish #Windermere #environment #water #sewage https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/nov/16/windermere-toxic-algae-dead-fish-sewage-united-utilities

I have the great pleasure of living close to #Windermere and make an effort to walk down to the lake most days. I've never seen blue/green algae as bad as it was yesterday.

How #United_Utilities escape the disapprobation heaped on Southern Water and others I do not know.

#Windermere has a long-term monitoring program that has been tracking the ecosystem for decades. The surge of #cyanobacteria blooms here and around the #UK are linked to #sewage discharge. The fact that these discharges are not required due to storm over-capacity is upsetting, but also expected when you make these #utilities for-profit entities. They'll under-report and pay fines if caught rather than reduce profit-margin (which is "good business") if regulators are weak.

#Sewage dumped illegally in #Windermere over 3 years

by Joe Crowley
October 17, 2024

"A water company repeatedly dumped millions of litres of raw sewage illegally into one of #ngland'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 #UnitedUtilities failed to report most of it.

"It means the company's #IllegalDumping of #sewage into the lake went on for far longer, and was far more extensive, than was previously known.

"United Utilities said some of its sewage releases into #Windermere were 'potentially non-compliant' but that it #SelfReports 'over 94% of potential pollution incidents to the #EnvironmentAgency'.

"Matt Staniek, a campaigner against sewage pollution and founder of #SaveWindermere, said Windermere was 'the jewel in the crown of the #LakeDistrict #NationalPark, and it's being used as an open sewer'.

"It is sometimes necessary to release sewage into rivers and lakes to stop the wastewater system from being overwhelmed by #HeavyRain but this #pollution can damage the environment, causing harmful #AlgalBlooms and even killing fish.

"In January this year - after BBC Panorama revealed the company had downplayed the severity of dozens of #pollution incidents, some involving Windermere - United Utilities retrospectively reported some discharges into the lake from October 2023 onwards."
