Comment on New Housebuilding in the UK Held Back by Pollution from Factory Farms

  According to this article:

  housing developments add to the problem with extra wastewater and sewage from new homes as well as run-off from construction sites.

  Pretty much everything people do is polluting now and wipes out the fish.

    Yeah, but the current polluters don’t have a vested interest in fixing their problem to allow for new housing.

    A mandate to require new development to meet a standard on sewage would be more productive than an outright ban.
