Make it illegal for water companies to dump sewage into rivers and seas

Closed 327 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to make it illegal for water companies to dump sewage into the water ways of this country. The Government shouldn't be allowing such reckless activities.
We believe that the Government shouldn't permit activities that can put public health at risk. We want to make sure that the Government knows that we will not stand idly by while the representatives of the people fail to protect the planet which we all have to live on.
