What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A feasibility study suggests a £3.7 billion investment to clean up Windermere by preventing sewage and road runoff from entering the lake. The proposed scheme includes building a large tunnel to transport sewage to a new water treatment works and connecting thousands of homes to a modern sewer network. United Utilities is backing this effort, which is part of a coalition aimed at ensuring only rainwater enters the lake.
