Water/Wastewater
British food firm fined for blocking water pipes
Apr 28 2009
The Seaham-based firm admitted to three charges of spilling wastewater into a sewage network and asked for a further eight to be considered by the court, reports the Sunderland Echo.
It said it had discharged more than the permitted levels of waste set by Northumbrian Water into local sewer systems between October and March.
A further £16,222 in costs was also ordered by the court for the cleanup of the affected waterways and investigation into the occurrence.
Cumbrian Seafoods was established in 1997, manufactures shellfish and fresh fish products and has investments as far afield as Iceland and the Far East.
