Sewage: Somerset
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether her Department has made an estimate of the volume of sewage discharged at Baltonsborough Pumping Station in Somerset in the past year.
Answered by Emma Hardy
Water companies are required to submit data to the Environment Agency (EA) showing the duration of discharges. The EA uses this information to target its regulatory work and to drive improvements to assets and parts of the sewerage networks where they are most critical.
Water companies have not submitted 2025 data yet; they will do so by the end of this month.
