Incident of Suitcases Dumped into Sewer Causes River Pollution

…By Alan Peterson for TDPel Media.

This act not only caused environmental pollution but also disrupted the normal flow of wastewater, necessitating immediate attention from Yorkshire Water’s engineers.

Consequently, the excess wastewater had to be discharged via the overflow system into the River Calder.

It appears that the removal of the cover was a deliberate action to dispose of the suitcases improperly

Prompt action by Yorkshire Water’s teams prevented further harm in this case, but raising awareness about the consequences of improper sewer use remains crucial to preventing similar incidents in the future.
