Oxford river swimmers criticise Christmas Day sewage release
A group of outdoor swimmers were forced to cancel their Boxing Day river dip after a water company announced a " sewage release" on Christmas Day .
Residents in Wolvercote, Oxford, were informed about the release into The River Windrush in an email from Thames Water .
Swimmer Dr Fiona Palumbo Tolan said The Group found it " deeply distressing".
Thames Water said sewage release was " sometimes necessary" to prevent flooding.
Dr Tolan said: " Every week we have to check for notifications of sewerage releases before being sure that it's safe to swim.
" It seems that what should be a very Last Resort in the case of extreme emergency has become a very common tactic of convenience for the water companies. "
The email from Thames Water confirmed an " ongoing sewage release" at nearby Whitney, adding: " If you're thinking of entering The River , please remember that it can take up to four days for the sewage to clear. "
In a statement, the water firm added: " After Heavy Rain it's sometimes necessary and permitted [to release sewage into The River ]. This prevents it flooding homes, gardens, streets and open spaces. "
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said: " Environment Agency staff respond to pollution incidents 24/7 to contain pollution and protect water quality.
" We would urge anyone who notices a pollution incident to call our hotline. "
