Caitlin Edwards ended up needing multiple blood transfusions and dialysis when she went swimming hours after a “suspected sewage spill”.
A woman has told how she developed a rare life-threatening condition after swimming in sea with sewage
It was reported at the time that storm sewage had been discharged at four popular Welsh beaches, including Wiseman's Bridge and nearby Saundersfoot, with Welsh Water combined storm overflows held responsible. Caitlin started to feel very unwell and experienced severe stomach cramps and diarrhoea. After five days she checked herself into A&E where she was diagnosed with E. coli and HUS.
Welsh Water confirmed that the source of that particular spill was not from one of their assets while PCC said it had placed warning signs on the beach "acting on information received regarding a pollution incident from Natural Resources Wales". Nicola Mills, the environment team leader for NRW, said their investigation into the pollution incident at Wiseman's Bridge concluded “the effluent discharge was due to a private discharge point failure”.
