Raw effluent has been spotted pumping into the River Taff near Pontypridd after a nearby sewage pipe burst. Engineers from Dwr Cymru Welsh Water have already attended the site and are trying to rectify the problem which was noticed on Tuesday by local fly angler Josh Clark.
The 30-year-old, who filmed the spill on his phone, called the incident an "environmental disaster" and said he'd seen human waste in the water. "I also witnessed nappies, wet wipes, and sanitary towels washed down the river," he added.
"It's absolutely disgusting and saddens me to see my local river in this state." Josh's footage was also shared on Facebook by well-known Carmarthenshire angling expert and presenter Steffan Jones.
