Notes

There has been an ongoing pollution at this S.W.O since I started water monitoring back in 2023, this started as laundry detergent. Recently there has been the smell of sewage combined with laundry detergent. This has been reported please see previous notes.

Currently this pollution is being investigated by Thames water and will hopefully be fixed soon, also stated in previous notes.

This morning when I visited the S.W.O there was a smell of sewage combined with laundry detergent and discharge coming from the S.W.O. After taking samples and photos this has been reported to Thames Water and the environment agency ref 02408224. I recieved an email from Thames water saying that they will investigate further. The tanker in a residential road is now going more frequently which is causing distress to the residents. I do hope this is finally resolved soon.
