William Wordsworth described Windermere as “magnificent and beautiful” But two centuries on, it is beset by a toxic soup of sewage and chemicals, with private septic tanks proving a hidden threat 💧 CapurrodDaniel reports:
that many of the environmental permits on pollution levels in the Windermere catchment dated back to the late Eighties and early Nineties when visitor numbers to the area were much lower. They also said that too many permits were “descriptive” rather than providing a precise level below which phosphorus levels should be maintained.
Mr Staniek said that he had become so concerned by the levels of phosphorus in the lake that he was now urinating in jars and spreading it in his garden rather than contribute further to the problem. As well as high levels of phosphorus, Windermere and its catchment are subjected to torrents of raw sewage from storm overflows.
