Reporting an incident

A view of the River Kent amid rocks and trees, using a slow shutter speed on the camera so that the water is blurred.

If you suspect that there’s been a sewage discharge into the River Kent and notice a strange smell or odd-looking stretch of water or any other signs of pollution, please immediately report this:

first to the Environment Agency – 0800 807060

then to South Cumbria Rivers Trust via their online incident form

It would also be great if you could let Isobel and Sheila here at SENS know – senstaveley@gmail.com

For an emergency situation contact:

United Utilities 24/7 line – 0345 672 3723

River Rangers – riverrangers@uuplc.co.uk (and cc. Sharma Jencitis, Area Stakeholder Manager at United Utilities – sharma.jencitis@uuplc.co.uk)
