To support full disclosure, you can see a record of the number of NWL overflow pumping occurrences here;

History

There have been some cases of overflow rainwater and sewage being pumped into the sea, but this has NOT affected the quality of the water or caused anyone any harm.

And yes of course, we would all love to live in a world where water company discharges to the sea did not need to occur, but destroying your local economy for this impossible feat is idiotic…
