OPEN water swimmers and councillors are asking Thames Water to come clean about releasing sewage in the River Thames. In 2019, there were 83 discharges of sewage in Oxford according to Thames Water, and open water swimmers, boat owners and walkers do not think this figure is acceptable. Overflows are designed to be used when the sewer network is overwhelmed, for example by extreme weather, and release diluted wastewater into rivers rather than letting it back up into people’s homes. Jo Robb is a Green Party councillor for South Oxfordshire and when she was given the title of Thames Champion last year, she immediately started liaising with Thames Water and the Environment Agency, asking them provide the public with real-time information on sewage overflows.
