The two worst offending sewer discharge points in England and Wales are located in the county of Bridgend.
The sewerage network in regularly discharges treated sewage as well as overflows of untreated sewage and storm water into our rivers. The sewage overflow point at Station Row Pontyrhyl Bridgend discharged 340 times for a combined total of 7,805 hours in 2022.
Bettws Road Llangeinor, also in Bridgend, discharged 350 times for a total of 7,785 hours. That's the equivalent of 324 days straight and is the next highest total. Both of these outlets flow into the Garw river which runs down to the Ogmore which in turn deposits this waste into the Bristol Channel. No other sewer outlet comes comes to these two points in terms of amount of time discharging waste.
