Southern Water would, of course, say that they do now have the capacity in the sewage system but that, as everyone seems to forget, is that their system relies on pumps which we know only too well go wrong. But the reality is that when surface water continues to be added to the foul water and our rainfall is now beyond any predictable measures how can SW possibly know how many pumps they need? They don’t, but they are still in need of the income from extra houses to keep producing more profits.The greater absurdity remains though that there is enough land up the hill to build on.
