Last year Merseyside's rivers suffered with nearly 32,000 hours worth of sewer spillages.
The sewerage network in our country regularly discharges treated sewage as well as overflows of untreated sewage and storm water into our rivers.
Collectively, there were 384,568 spills from the discharge points last year for a combined total of more than 2.3 million hours, according to data from the Environment Agency.
