A critical friend!26 Oct 2021 12:20
Water companies are, quite rightly, coming under fire for a chronic lack of investment in treatment infrastructure over many years. Faced with a motion (see what I did there) to prevent raw sewage to continue to be pumped in to our waterways and seas, the Govt argued that the alternative was such waste backing up in streets and houses. So dumping in the waterways is the lesser of two evils. What has become apparent during this debate is the presence of other previously unreported entities in our waste water, the 'forever chemicals', all the detergents and cleaning agents we pour down our sinks. Where am I going with this, well I am trying to see how GB positions DeepVerge with the water companies. I suggest we ally as a 'critical friend' because our technology is going to highlight a whole load of stuff in the waste that has previously been ignored or maybe not even known about. Not sure the water companies want to be told, 'hey guys, there's a whole load of other s**t you need to deal with here'. Diplomacy required I suggest .
