A number of members have reported to me that main outfall from the sewerage works that enters the Ogmore just above the confluence with the Ewenny is on occasions discharging coloured and contaminated water.
I have had a word with the EA monitoring officer for the Bridgend area and she has assured me that the EA will act but members need to contact the emergency No.0800 807060 and report these incidents when they occur.
Up until January of this year the EA carried out monthly water quality surveys of this site. Now apparently, this has changed and Welsh Water are now responsible for monitoring their own discharges.
I was also shocked to learn that the site is unmanned outside of office hours and at weekends.
We need to be keeping a very close eye on what is going on down there.
Please let me know if you see anything untoward.
