In an effort to reduce sewage dumping in the city's rivers, the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has been urged to take action to stop the practice. Data has revealed that London's water companies have only been prosecuted twice in the last four years, despite 31 of the city's waterways experiencing 1,809 combined overflow discharges in 2022. The result of these discharges was the pumping of raw sewage for more than 7,000 hours into London's rivers and streams in order to allow them to filter and process the waste.

According to this information, which was obtained through a freedom of information request, this is a serious issue that should be tackled as soon as possible. London's rivers have been badly damaged by the dumping of sewage into them, and the Mayor has been urged to take action to prevent further damage from happening in the future.

It has been advocated by environmental groups that stricter rules and more strict enforcement measures are needed to prevent the dumping of sewage into London's waterways, in what is referred to as the sewage lagoons. There has been an appeal to the Mayor to work with water companies and other relevant stakeholders to develop a comprehensive plan in order to deal with the problem.

A number of actions need to be taken as soon as possible in order to tackle the problem of sewage dumping into London's rivers. The Mayor must act swiftly to ensure that London's waterways are protected and that the city's environment is safeguarded for future generations.

Khan pledged in July 2020 to reduce water pollution incidents by 30% by 2025. Liberal Democrat Speaker of the London Parliament Hina Bokari AM said: "The sheer volume of raw sewage entering London's waters shows that the UK's Conservative government has not fully grasped the issue. That's clear," said he. In London and across the country, poor hygiene is putting public health, wildlife and the tourism industry at risk. "But the Mayor himself in London is not without power." He has set a goal of reducing water pollution incidents by 30% by 2025. But when I interviewed him today, he said water pollution. He cannot say specifically how he intends to reduce pollution and what progress has been made.

"If the mayor does not believe he has the authority or resources to resolve this issue, he should not set such a goal." Expand plans to green cities across the country to reduce surface water runoff, which is a major cause of sewage systems draining into rivers during heavy rains.”
