Sidmouth: mystery stream contamination – can you help?

“Environment Agency workers are trying to solve the mystery of a contaminated stream in Sidmouth that discharges to the beach.

Whilst staff have said the contamination could be caused by a misconnection at new build properties in the town, a definitive cause is yet to be determined.

Recently the stream seems to contain wipes, and Environment Agency Workers are concerned that the contamination could be affecting bath water quality.

In a bid to solve the mystery, the Environment Agency has posted pictures of their investigative work in the hope that members of the public might have some answers.”
