Ha, Irish water doesn’t have a scooby about how much sewage it spills. Spoiler - it’s a fucking shit load.Permitted by government now the UK doesn't have to answer to the EU...

So all the sewage pipes from my road and all the houses around me drain into the main drain which runs down the Golf Course Road to the pumping station.Ha, Irish water doesn’t have a scooby about how much sewage it spills.

See here:Correct! Where I live my house is about 10 feet above sea level. So all the sewage pipes from my road and all the houses around me drain into the main drain which runs down the Golf Course Road to the pumping station.
It has long been acknowledged that it is undersized and not fit for purpose.
There is a small river /stream close to me which flows out into the River Boyne about a half mile away.
Because of fairly serious flooding about 20 years ago they built a seagate near the river this stops the sea flowing upstream but allows swollen river water out.
But the thing is, that in times of heavy and prolonged rain everything backs up and the pump station cant cope, so they have permission to turn the built up sewerage out across the gorgeous blue flag beach into the sea.
Look! Press this button, turn this valve and it all goes away!
