Southern Water apologises for catastrophic spill of plastic biobeads in Sussex

We've identified a failure of a screening filter, which has apparently led to beads used in the treatment process being released into the sea during heavy rainfall. The screen should have prevented this occurring. We are very sorry this has happened and are doing everything possible to investigate and resolve the problem. The company said it would provide further updates when more information became available.
