Clean Rivers and Sewage Spills

Imagine your favorite river walk, the place where you clear your mind or picnic with friends, with clean rivers and no sewage spills. Now picture that river filled with untreated sewage. Not a pretty thought, right?

This isn’t just imagination—it’s reality for many waterways in the UK. According to their Environment Agency, sewage spills have doubled in 2023. The law says sewage releases should happen only in rare cases, like during extreme rainfall. But that’s not what’s happening.

The result? Rivers choking with algae, fish gasping for oxygen, and swimmers risking health issues. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Environmental groups and regulators are pushing for stricter rules and innovative solutions. These can include compensation payments for water supply outages, sewer flooding or low water pressure.

We believe in a future where rivers are clean, wildlife thrives, and communities enjoy unpolluted waters. We help make that vision possible through waterless hygienic toilets. Together with smart investments and public support, this idea can become a reality. So that at the end clean rivers are normal and sewage spills are part of history.
