TENS of thousands of cubic metres of untreated sewage has been dumped into the Cleddau river in Wales, campaigners reported today.

Volunteers from The Cleddau Project (TCP) documented multiple incidents of sewage being discharged from a sewage overflow pipe in Picton. 

It found that 55,814 cubic metres of untreated sewage flowed into the river last year due to faulty pumps that remained unrepaired for nine months, posing significant risks to aquatic ecosystems and public health in the conservation area.
