Liverpool Council has written to the Environment Agency seeking answers over sewage found pouring into the River Mersey.
In August, videos and images appeared to show large amounts of seemingly raw waste seeping into the river. Among those who captured the images around Garston Docks was Cllr Steve Munby.
He asked Cllr Dan Barrington, Liverpool Council cabinet member for climate change and environment, in a written question for an update on work the Environment Agency had undertaken to combat what had happened. United Utilities, which manages the North West's water services, said it was not to blame, pointing the finger at a third party for the discharges.
