Councillor Helen Toft (Wyke Regis, Weymouth Town Council) says: “It was extremely interesting to visit the Wyke Water Treatment Plant with Councillor Clare Sutton [Rodwell & Wyke, Dorset Council] and others this summer. In a smelly few hours we gained a better understanding of the processes, and asked lots of questions about sewage discharges.
“We both swim near overflow pipes, and were keen to learn all we could.
“You can track discharges online at wessexwater.co.uk/coast-and-rivers-watch-map.”
