A water company has pleaded guilty to allowing too much sewage waste into the River Wye.

Welsh Water Ltd was fined £90,00 after the Environment Agency found sewage levels near Hereford exceeded the legal limit three times in one year in 2020 and 2021.

Environmental rules state the company must not discharge over the limit more than twice in a 12-month period.

The company was ordered to pay a £90,000 fine at Worcester Crown Court and pay costs of £14,085.
