Sewage overflow: How much longer can nature fight back

EDITOR – In the SUN edition of 23 January, two incidents of sewage overflows and contamination was reported.

The Mercury wrote two articles on sewage levels and contaminated mussels along the same coastal area some weeks ago.

The constant degradation of our river systems, due to, I assume, lack of maintenance and a long history of excuses goes on and on.

If one can sue in terms of pot hole accidents, I see the same application applicable here. Our coast is becoming a absolute disgrace, and apart from questioning why tourists would want to visit, how much longer can nature fight back a constant deluge of sewage overflows.
