North West water company United Utilities says it is not responsible for raw sewage in the River Mersey after a host of 'revolting' videos and images emerged over the weekend.
A number of videos and pictures have been shared in recent days which appear to show large amounts of raw sewage in the Mersey. One video, taken of waste in the water at Otterspool Promenade went viral, with thousands of shares.
That video was taken by Liverpool Councillor Steve Munby, who told the ECHO the scene in the water at Otterspool was 'one of the most revolting things he had ever seen." He added: "There was clearly a lot of faeces in the water, it was vast. There cannot be any doubt that this was raw sewage - and lots of it, it was disgusting, clearly something has gone wrong."
