River Chess: Chesham Thames Water over 6hr sewage discharge

The discharge occurred on Wednesday, April 23, from the Chesham Sewage Treatment Works, which are managed by Thames Water. The water company said the discharge began at 7.45 am and stopped the same day at 2 pm.

This happened the day after Lib Dem leader Ed Davey and Chesham MP Sarah Green visited the river and waded in the water on April 22.
