Help keep our rivers clean!

Canoe Wales are working with Welsh Water to help keep our waterways clean – and now you can help too!

Dwr Cymru / Welsh Water looks after 800 wastewater treatment works and 36,000km of sewers. They do everything they can to protect our environment, but sometimes things can go wrong.

Equipment failures or the wrong things being flushed down toilets can cause pollution to spill into watercourses, affecting wildlife and damaging our environment. And they need your help to spot any problems...

If you spot any of the following:

• Wet wipes, sanitary items, or things likely to have been flushed down the loo
  
• Sewage solids in the water or a sewage smell
  
• Soap suds or a milky looking liquid in the water
  

Call the Pollution hotline:
0800 085 3968

Or report it online at dwrcymru.com/pollution

If you'd like to send this information to other paddlers, or put something on your club noticeboard, you can download a PDF flyer (in English and Welsh) here.
