SEWAGE overflows \u201cdo not have an impact on the excellent bathing water quality at Barry,\u201d says Welsh Water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to a report<\/a> by The Cardiffian<\/em>, Welsh Water said the specific combined sewage outflows at Barry were \u201coperating within their permits.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company said the process is \u201cclosely monitored by Natural Resources Wales\u201d, the body that issues the permits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“As a not-for-profit company so closely linked to the environment, we are very aware of the impact our operations can have on our surroundings and take our environmental performance very seriously,” said a Welsh Water spokesperson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the three beaches monitored for water bathing quality by Natural Resources Wales<\/a>, only Cold Knap has an “excellent rating”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
