Pollution spread over a public footpath beyond the fence of the unmanned Thames Water facility. It is likely that other water companies are also discharging more than usual but only Thames Water has published a live interactive map of its monitors on rivers. Mr Collins said: “What’s happening at the Horley sewage works really does show a lack of investment over many years. A Thames Water spokesperson said: “We regard all discharges as unacceptable and are sorry to those affected by this. “We have recorded non-compliances against Thames Water for breaching their permit, and our officers are actively investigating this incident.
