It appears that Scottish Water has taken the view that they are not liable for the Logan Pollution incident in May of 2008. If not them who is? Who can they blame? their sub contractors? We would imagine that the sub contractors produced a method statement which was approved by Scottish Water. We would have been unaware of the current situation had we not contacted Bell Ingram in relation to the length of time which had elapsed since they last contacted us. So much for the promise that was made to us by certain representatives form Scottish Water about keeping us informed. We have also asked Scottish Water for various details under the Freedom of Information Act which they appear to reluctant to disclose. For this reason we have chosen to subscribe to the Anglers Conservation Association who represent angling clubs in cases like this. If you are a member of an angling club and your club has had problems with pollution incidents from Scottish water i.e sewage effluent or other nasties that seem to get into our rivers please contact us. We think the public should be made aware of just how much pollution is actually getting into our river. We are currently investigating how many pollution incidents have occurred within the Nethan Catchment since 2000 and we will publish the results on here. I know that other angling association are carrying out similar investigations.

This does not surprise me as I know of many pollution incidents caused by Scottish Water. I work for them and I'm ashamed of what they get away with. Hope you expose them for what they are! Environmental Vandals. I am prepared to meet you and hand over evidence if required. I will contact you via your web page as I don't want to loose my job in the current economic climate.
This is outrageous of Scottish Water, but somewhat typical of massive companies! Quite rightly the NVAA and other similar organisations should be like terriers and not let go till they've got them. Good on this anon commenter for being brave and helping out. Best of luck in nailing them guys!
