It appears that Yorkshire Water have a long tradition of polluting Sheffield's rivers and streams.

The problem is compounded by the continuing refusal of the water industry to acknowledge that putting raw sewage into the nations watercourses is a disgrace that should NOT happen in the twenty-first century,
