1/1 SOUTHERN Water has been fined a record £90m for dumping raw sewage into rivers and coastal waters in Hampshire and other parts of the south coast. The company admitted almost 7,000 illegal discharges from 16 wastewater treatment works between 2010 and 2015, including several sites in the Southampton area. Up to 21 billion litres of untreated sewage are thought to have flowed into protected waters. The offences were discovered during the Environment Agency s largest ever criminal investigation, which began after shellfish were found to be contaminated with E. coli. The case saw all the pollution offences brought together in one prosecution at Canterbury Crown Court.
