How can you help?
Sign the petition - We call on Defra to delay Southern Water’s plan to recycle sewage effluent into drinking water, and demand they properly explore other cheaper, greener solutions first.
This is because of:
- Huge environmental concerns.
- Deliberate suppression of cheaper, greener solutions for financial reasons.
- Totally inadequate consultation.
- A complete breakdown of public trust in Southern Water.
- The risk of water tasting different in turn driving customers towards bottled water, with further huge environmental impact.
The sewage recycling process will supply drinking water to Southern Water and Portsmouth Water customers in Hampshire, Isle of Wight and West Sussex.
Update 27 Oct 2024: We need your help – Southern Water are recycling more than sewage!
Thank you for signing our last petition to stop Southern Water recycling sewage effluent into drinking water.
The good news is that the regulators at DEFRA did reject their plan, and told them to think again.
Sadly, they’ve just recycled the same old leaky plan with more sewage recycling, and plugged the gap with tanker loads of water from Norway.
We need you to email DEFRA today to object to Southern Water’s revised plan and demand a better more sustainable way forward that would work with climate change, not against it, such as
- Storing winter rain in reservoirs & aquifers for use in dry summers.
- Abstracting river water closer to the sea to protect our precious chalk streams.
DEFRA are the only ones that can stop this plan going ahead.
Please copy your email to your MP and share this email to make a difference.
