Raw sewage spilling into the River Erne in Enniskillen is having an adverse effect on the local environment, housing and tourism as the latest overflow has gone untreated for weeks, a local councillor has said.
Local residents reported a foul smell in the Derrin Park area of the Riverside walk in the town in recent weeks as sewage can be seen overflowing from a manhole in the area.
Several areas around the River Erne in the county have seen raw sewage spill into the waterways in recent years, with concern voiced over the environment impact as well as the effects on local tourism and new housing plans.
