Ben Morris, founder of the Clean Up the River Brent campaign, lamented, "It's like going back to the mid-19th Century when there were no water treatment works. We've gone back to a time when we're no longer treating our sewage. We're just putting it straight in rivers; certainly a proportion of it is no longer being treated at all." This stark comparison reveals the severity and antiquity of the sewage issue affecting London's rivers.
Force trustee Rob Gray highlighted the issue's gravity, stating, "Together, thousands of these inputs across the capital are badly affecting the health of our rivers. For London this is probably now a bigger issue than sewage inputs from sewage treatment works. In our view this type of pollution is probably the largest source of chronic pollution for London." His statement emphasizes the widespread impact of misconnected sewage systems.
