Rejected petition Change laws to prevent sewage dumping into rivers.

To put a ban on sewage dumping.
To put in harsher punishments for organisations who may ignore laws which are already in place
for the government to help clean rivers effected by the dumping of sewage or any substance which will effect the health of the river and its local ecosystem

More details

We want the government to act on this as many of these organisations will not respond to local voices. By adding a punishment we can hopefully reduce the number of accidents.
