And if you thought staying in town in an effort to avoid the sewage scandal was an option you'd be wrong.
Sewage warnings issued for Wimbledon Common, Putney Common, Barnes Common and Richmond Park as @thameswater dump sewage into Beverley Brook.

We didn’t really know what to expect from Gareth when we sat down with him in 2021. 2018 felt like a lifetime ago, Covid had ripped us apart and sentiment around England was one of anger & uncertainty.
But his words then were as poignant and necessary as they are now.

Heavy rain for many of us last evening. On the @RiverChess we had an increase of 2-3cm to river levels at Chesham & Rickmansworth with some localised flooding & a small up tick in groundwater levels. It also triggered a sewage discharge from @thameswater operated Chesham STW.

What a totally awe inspiring 3 days that was.
From Monmouth to Salisbury, Bradley Stoke to Plymouth, Falmouth to Perranporth 12 constituencies in 72 hours.
12 utterly brilliant candidates, the best people I've ever met and all with a united aim. End the sewage scandal. NOW

"River Thames triathletes rushed to hospital after severe vomiting over sewage fears."
So not even world-class athletes can escape the incompetent bureaucracy and corporate greed that haunts the water industry.

Such a pleasure to speak with the brilliant @Feargal_Sharkey about river and sea pollution in Exmouth and Exeter East and to get his support in my campaign. I want to tackle this critical issue for everyone. It’s time for change.

When it comes to bromances, there aren’t many better than @micahrichards and @danielsturridge! 🤜🤛
Can they match the chemistry of the Bad Boys?! 🧐

Yes @unitedutilities paid £452,00,000 in dividends to shareholders in 2023 and yet they are still trying to fill lake Windermere with sewage.
As always brilliantly done by @susannareid100 👏👏👏
How can you defend this appalling situation?' - ＠susannareid100
Susanna challenges Chris Matthews from United Utilities following data that the company dumped more than 27,000 hours worth of untreated sewage since 2020.
Mr Matthews is also asked to reveal what the return to shareholders was after the company had a net profit of around £300 million last year.

Sewage discharge again from @thameswater into rare Chiltern chalk stream @RiverChess. Upgrade to sewage works can’t cope with high levels of ground water ingress says TW. Pix via @PJennings88

If this isn't a prime example of the contemptuous complacency and utter incompetence of @Ofwat @EnvAgency I don't know what is.
Depressing day on the @RiverChess yesterday. All our hard work being put at risk by the failing Chesham STW. Not only discharges but sewage flooding at Blackwell Hall Lane into an adjacent grazing meadow, the worst quality effluent I have ever witnessed on the Chess.

"Rivers are "dying in front of our eyes" as a result of sewage discharges".
If we cannot conserve the most precious rivers on the planet like the Test, Itchen and Kennet all chalk streams then what hope do you think there is for the Trent, Ouse or Seven?

"Sewage pumped into River Chess for over 400 hours".
The River Chess is supposed to be @thameswater's flagship programme, to prove that a water company can and would do the right thing, to make amends.
How's that working out then?
