Treatment boss tells Welsh government to do more on water pollution

It has been designed to clean more than 190,000 tonnes of landfill leachate – polluted water – which is at risk of leaking into a river in the city of Quito.

Mr Preece said technology used by his company there, and at other sites across the globe, could be used to protect Welsh rivers and watercourses.

“Some of the pollution in Wales related to things like legacy mines – lead, zinc and cadmium, all of which we’re taking out here – whether it’s around things like sewage discharges into rivers and streams, that’s pretty straightforward stuff,” he told Newyddion S4C.

“It is incredibly frustrating that we’re not engaged, that we’re not doing more in Wales and, as I said, I’ll repeat to the politicians in Wales to please engage with us because we can help.”
