Villagers surrounding a “unique” body of water have raised the alarm over an ‘emergency’ that is seeing sewage discharged into it. Residents living near the Pillhill Brook Chalk stream, which passes through villages including Thruxton, Monxton and Abbotts Ann, are “incensed” following Southern Water pumping treated sewage into the water. The water company says that this process, known as overpumping, is only carried out in emergency situations, but residents say this ‘emergency’ instead results from a lack of investment in the area’s sewers, and has continued for over a decade. Simon Cooper, who runs a flyfishing business in the area, said that this continuing pumping was “doing devastating damage” to the water.
